The Iowa State University Foundation is governed by a board of directors, where the university president serves as a director. It is also served by governors who provide additional guidance and advocate for philanthropy at Iowa State and across the country.

The foundation also works closely with Iowa State administrators, deans and unit leaders to determine the university’s fundraising priorities.
