Union-related funds at the IU Foundation

Indiana Memorial Union Dunn Meadow Cafe/North Patio

The IMU is known as the hearthstone of the campus providing many spaces where students go to meet, connect, and interact with other members of the IU community. This fund will support the enhancement and development of outdoor spaces near the Dunn Meadow Cafe entrance and North Patio. It will expand the IMU’s “living room” into the outdoors and create new spaces for Union Board events and programs.
