About Us

"The people of IU Libraries inspire and empower students and faculty to excel in innovative research and creative activity, outstanding teaching and publishing, and deep, reflective learning." This is the guiding mission of Indiana University Libraries. Donors help us make that mission statement a reality every day with lively engagement, valued relationships, in-kind gifts, and monetary donations, big and small. 

There are many different ways to give to IU Libraries. You can give a monthly donation or an annual contribution. There are gifts fulfilling a pledge or one-time only "just because" gifts. In addition, you can do estate gifts or gifts of securities.  

Please reach out to our staff for details and more help.
