TUM University Foundation

The TUM University Foundation was set up to give the Technical University of Munich the speed and agility it needs to respond to new trends, attract the best talent and promote promising young scientists. As a dynamic fundraising platform, it gives the university entrepreneurial headroom beyond government funding.

Established in 2010 by both private and business patrons, the TUM University Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to systematically supporting TUM and promoting academic excellence. Since then, many new donors have come on board, most notably from the university’s network of alumni. Today, it ranks as one of Germany’s largest university foundations.
