The Fultons: A Legacy of Giving

Ira and Mary Lou Fulton

"Mary Lou and I love education and the students at BYU. You never know what kind of impact a good education will have on someone's life. The positive effects can go on for generations."

Ira A. Fulton

On November 6, 2003 the Brigham Young University College of Engineering and Technology
was renamed in honor of church member and generous philanthropist Ira A. Fulton. Ira and his
wife, Mary Lou, were longtime friends of the university and established a generous legacy of
giving.

The Fultons began their relationship with BYU in 1999 after visiting campus and feeling a
kinship with faculty, administration and students.

They saw their contributions not as donations, but as an investment in the future.

Their contributions made an impact that was campus-wide, helping students in every college,
not just those in the Ira A. Fulton College of Engineering and Technology. From 1999-2006 the
Fultons contributed more than $10M to purchase and upgrade one of the fastest
supercomputers in American higher education at that time (named in honor of Mary Lou),
which is still available to students across campus. The Fultons also helped to fund dozens of
other projects, including the engineering college's "Streamliner", the Joseph F. Smith Building,
Athletic Complex, Hinckley Alumni & Visitors Center, along with financing many student
scholarships and mentoring student learning research projects. The Fultons regularly
upgraded the BYU Center for Animation's computing resources to rival the finest computing
facilities of their type anywhere in the world, helping that program become one of the best in
the nation.

Mary Lou Fulton passed away on Oct. 1, 2015. She and Ira had been married for 61 years. Side
by side with her sweetheart, she impacted thousands of lives through her generosity and
caring.

For the next decade, Ira continued to serve on the executive committee and as a member of
the BYU President's Leadership Council, a group of top-level donors who encourage and
facilitate giving to BYU, while also retaining his role as chairman of the board of Fulton Homes
in Chandler, Arizona. Ira A. Fulton passed away on August 21, 2026.

The Ira A. Fulton Endowed Chair continues to provide important funds for the college each
year in their memory, inspiring and supporting each new generation of students to become the
exceptional and impactful pillars of society the Fultons dreamed of.
