The Auburn University Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Auburn, Alabama, established in 1960 to receive and manage charitable contributions intended for Auburn University and Auburn University at Montgomery. It operates separately from the universities, with a volunteer board guiding efforts that partner with the institutions’ fundraising staff to increase philanthropy and support a wide range of faculty, instructional quality, student programs, and scholarships. The foundation is positioned within the nonprofit sector as a steward of endowments and donations, ensuring gifts are used as intended and sustaining a perpetual source of funding for the universities. While its primary focus is philanthropic administration, it is certified as a tax-exempt charitable organization under IRS Code 501(c)(3), and its governance and operations align with the requirements of applicable federal and state standards. The organization serves donors and the universities by providing a structured framework for gifts and endowment management, with a formal tax-deductible status for eligible contributions.
