About Towson University Foundation
Towson University Foundation Inc. centers its giving on Towson University itself, with large recurring grants that move through scholarships, awards, and other university initiatives. The biggest recent payment in the record was $2,697,780 in 2025 to Towson University for scholarships and awards paid to the institution for various student recipients, followed by another $2,574,614 in 2024 for the same purpose. That pattern shows a funder built around institutional support rather than outside grantmaking. The foundation also funds university capacity beyond student aid. Recent records include $1,937,630 in 2025 for a separate Towson University allocation and $48,481 in 2024 for equipment for use of Towson University faculty and students. Its active TUF Grant Program extends that internal approach to campus projects, supporting experiential learning, inclusiveness, student support services including suicide prevention, faculty-student research, and other Towson University initiatives. Across the available record, the grantee is consistently Towson University in Towson, Maryland, reflecting a narrowly focused model tied to one institution and its students, faculty, and programs.
