What is a Friend of IPFW?
The Friends of Indiana University—Purdue University Fort Wayne is an arm of the Indiana-Purdue Foundation, a not-for-profit corporation designed to receive gifts for the development of this campus. The purpose of Friends is two-fold:
- to support this campus through annual giving
- to help make new friends for IPFW by inviting guests to monthly programs and special events
These activities take place on the campus and highlight the faculty, staff, programs, and facilities which combine to make up the educational and cultural life of IPFW.
