About

ESU Foundation

The Emporia State University Foundation was established in 1952 as an independent, nonprofit corporation that exists to support Emporia State University.

The Foundation team raises, receives, manages, invests, distributes and stewards private resources in support of the university’s mission in the areas of teaching, research, public service, and scholarship.

Our team works with individuals, corporations and foundations that believe charitable giving can change individual lives, our region, and our world. We match donors' interests with a wide variety of programs and initiatives facilitated by Emporia State.

ESU Alumni Association

Once a Hornet, always a Hornet! Formed in 1880, the ESU Alumni Association's purpose is to connect, serve and support ESU.

We are here to connect you with alumni, friends, services and benefits. If you would like to give back to your alma mater, there are many ways to serve ESU through volunteer opportunities to promote ESU, recruit new students and hire fellow Hornets. You can also support ESU and give to fundraising initiatives that will positively impact the success of ESU and our students.
