What is Students Helping Students?

Students Helping Students is the philanthropic mission of the IU Student Foundation. Created to nurture a culture of student philanthropy at Indiana University, this initiative comes alive during the spring semester through a dynamic, peer-to-peer fundraising campaign.

We believe in empowering IU students to make a meaningful impact now, emphasizing that generosity knows no waiting period. Each year, the campaign raises funds for a student-selected cause dedicated to directly assisting students on the Bloomington campus.

Prioritizing mental health

For the 2025 Students Helping Students campaign, we are proud to announce our partnership with the Office of Student Life. Together, we are on a mission to destigmatize mental health care on the IU Bloomington campus.

We are excited to channel our collective efforts toward creating a campus environment that fosters understanding, support, and open dialogue about mental well-being.
