Biography

The Michigan Tech Fund is the official fund management agency of Michigan Technological University. Their mission is to encourage private gifts to help Michigan Tech achieve its goals by balancing the interest of the donor with the needs of the University and managing those resources efficiently and effectively. The Michigan Tech Fund is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt corporation established in 1965 under the laws of the State of Michigan. Existing solely for the benefit of Michigan Technological University and its students, the Tech Fund receives, invests, and disburses gifts for the University's goals and needs. A volunteer Board of Trustees of approximately twenty-five members oversees the Fund, which is independent of the University. Its staff and operations are totally supported by unrestricted gifts and management fees, not by tax dollars.
