About the Foundation

The Ozarks Tech Foundation supports the college mission of transforming lives and strengthening our communities through securing private gifts, building partnerships and advocating for students and the college.

Our Promise to You

You trust us with your investment in students, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Every dollar is managed with transparency, accountability, and care.

• The Foundation is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
• Funds are independently audited each year and managed separately from the college.
• Endowed funds are invested with Commerce Bank to ensure long-term growth.

Your support is stewarded with integrity—because we know each gift represents your belief in our students’ future.
