THE MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY FOUNDATION was established in 1973 as an independent non-profit corporation, the purpose of which is to support the advancement of MSU as the nation's premier land-grant university.
The Foundation's role on behalf of MSU is broad based, as reflected in its major responsibilities:
 |
providing grants and funding in support of University activities,
|
 |
underwriting MSU's intellectual property program,
|
 |
owning and operating the University Corporate Research Park, and
|
 |
serving as steward of planned gifts designated to MSU.
|
By carrying out these responsibilities, the Foundation provides essential support and enhancement of a broad range of activities, many of which might otherwise go unfunded.
