IIT Madras Foundation is a nonprofit fundraising platform supporting IIT Madras’s goals in engineering education and research. It operates as an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) entity run by volunteer IIT-M alumni, raising endowment funds from alumni, corporations, and foundations in the United States. Based in Cupertino, California, the organization has a near-term objective to secure $100 million in endowment funds to advance IIT Madras’s 2020 Strategic Plan. The foundation serves IIT Madras and its network of international supporters by providing a formal channel for endowment fundraising and strategic partnerships, and it engages in collaborations with international institutions to advance educational programs. In 2024, it appointed Thirumalai Madhavnarayan as its first CEO, signaling a move toward formal leadership and governance.
