When Students Lead, Good Things Follow

The Indiana University Student Foundation gives students opportunities to lead major university projects and events that inspire support for IU—including the nationally recognized Little 500. The result? A better IU, a stronger community, and empowered students who learn philanthropic leadership skills that last a lifetime.

Students Helping Students

Students Helping Students, the philanthropic core of the IU Student Foundation, inspires a culture of generosity at Indiana University through a spring semester peer-to-peer fundraising campaign. Every year, the campaign supports a student-selected cause benefiting IU Bloomington students.

In 2026, we are proudly raising funds to support students’ basic needs during times of financial hardship—expanding access to essentials like food, housing, health care, and transportation. Join us in this movement to create positive change and build our own legacy of giving at Indiana University.
