UT Foundation

The mission of the UT Foundation is to support the University of Tennessee's educational, research, and public activities by seeking, receiving, and administering private funds to support programs beyond the scope of the university's general budget.

The UTF, established in 2001, is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that receives and administers private support for the University of Tennessee System.

The University of Tennessee is the flagship institution for the state of Tennessee with campuses in Knoxville (including the Institute for Public Service and the Institute for Agriculture), Chattanooga, Tullahoma, Martin, and Memphis.  The university provides services in all counties through the state.  The foundation's efforts support all UT campuses and institutes.
