Building a future together – with responsibility, experience, and networking.

The TU Wien Foundation is Austria’s first non-profit university foundation. Since its establishment in 2018, we have been setting standards in the field of foundations: as a bridge builder between excellent science, committed philanthropy, and social impact. We demonstrate how private engagement strengthens freedom of research and brings innovation into practice.

Well established in the Austrian foundation and philanthropy sector, the TU Wien Foundation is a member of relevant networks and initiatives that promote exchange and develop common standards for transparency and impact. This integration allows us to benefit from expertise, best practices, and trusting partnerships – thus ensuring the highest level of professionalism in the management of the funds entrusted to us.

The foundation is backed by prominent figures from science, business, and society who take responsibility. With their experience, integrity, and personal commitment, they shape the TU Wien Foundation as a reliable partner for donors and funding institutions.
