The East Tennessee State University Foundation is a separate, legally incorporated, not-for-profit entity founded in 1970 to generate and receive private support for the university. Gifts to the Foundation are invested into a general investment portfolio handled by professional money managing firms and monitored by the organization's standing Investment Committee. The Foundation receives private gifts for the University in accordance with it's agreement with ETSU.

Organizational bylaws outline a full membership of up to 500. The leadership of the Foundation is made up of an Executive Committee and a 30 member Board of Directors which meets annually.

Foundation Board members serve on four active standing committees which carry out the business of the organization. Daily management of the corporation is carried out by the President of the ETSU Foundation with the advice and concent of the organization's Executive Committe. This committee meets quarterly or upon call when neccessary to conduct the affairs of the Foundation and makes a report to the board and full membership at the annual meeting.

Note on the Foundation's Philosophy
"Our Foundation's conservative investment and management philosophy is a stable, guiding principle that allows us to provide the 'margin of excellence' in good times and in bad. I am confident that this philosophy, along with the Foundation's leadership and support, will see us through today's uncertain times to better times tomorrow."
