About the Real Estate and Personal Property Team:

The Real Estate and Personal Property department supports the educational, research, and service mission of Indiana University by serving and supporting the Advancement community to receive gifts of real estate and personal property. We partner with departments across the Indiana University Foundation and Indiana University to manage the donations of unique gifts such as furniture, art, vacation homes, musical instruments, and farmland. These gifts can have an academic or administrative use for the university, or the donors may intend that the gifts be sold, and the proceeds dedicated to benefit a scholarship, professorship, program, or capital project. We also oversee our commercial general liability insurance program, and commercial properties, and work closely with the Indiana University Real Estate department to purchase properties for all nine campuses as an investment for future expansion. Additionally, the Facilities department is part of our team and provides maintenance and security of the Foundation's offices as well as managing the Welcome Centers at Showalter House and University Hall.
