Office of Development

As an alumnus, parent, or friend of Indiana University Kokomo, you recognize the importance of a quality education. A college education prepares individuals to be leaders in their communities and beyond. What you might not see is that many of our students are one financial setback from not pursuing that impactful collegiate education.

A significant number of our students are only able to earn their IU degrees because of the generous benefactors who choose to support students through gifts of time, talent, and treasure. IU Kokomo is able to provide a “private-school education at a public-school cost” because our donors make it possible.

Thank you to our generous donors

IU Kokomo appreciates all who donated to a cause important to their lives and values in 2022. Whether it be the Kokomo Experience and You (KEY) fund, the Cougar Cupboard, or the Student in Crisis fund, your generous donation is making a difference in the lives of our students.
