Since 1944 the Kansas State University Foundation has supported the teaching, research, and outreach mission of K-State. Gifts received through the foundation fund undergraduate and graduate student scholarships, establish faculty chairs and professorships, provide departmental support, and enhance the campus infrastructure.
Private support infuses life into virtually all academic and support programs. Since 1986, K-State has added almost 2 million square feet in new buildings and additions to buildings. Although the state provided partial funding for these projects, they would not have been possible without additional private support.
The Kansas State University Foundation is the official fundraising arm of the university. It is a separate, independent organization chartered by the state of Kansas as a 501C(3) nonprofit educational corporation. Gifts to the foundation are tax deductible.
The foundation is responsible for the administration of more than 5,000 fund accounts and the processing of more than 78,000 gifts annually. A volunteer board of trustees and a 15-member executive committee formulate policy for the foundation.

K-State students of all majors produce the Kansas State Collegian daily newspaper and Royal Purple yearbook—the nation's most honored tandem of collegiate publications.
Student journalists produce and select all content in the Collegian and Royal Purple. Their experience as reporters, photojournalists, designers, graphics journalists, illustrators, copy editors, and editors launches them into internships and careers across the nation. A student staff also sells thousands of dollars in advertising to help underwrite the publications.
Student Publications, Inc., is an independent local agency that publishes the newspaper, yearbook, and campus telephone book. Its board of directors hires editors in chief and supervises finances, but content decisions rest with the student staffs of the publications. Both the newspaper and yearbook have faculty advisors who also teach in the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communications.
Royal Purple staffs are hired annually. Collegian staffs are hired by semester. Staff applications are available in 103 Kedzie Hall, with applications due in early November and early April for subsequent terms.
