The relevance of the research is determined by the need for external support of the higher education sector and its institutions through investment, in the conditions of rapid reform and integration into the European area of higher education. The organization management of investment activities of a higher education institution (hereinafter HEI) is one of the directions of its internal management, which determines the priority vectors of the development of the educational institution; affects the formation of rating indicators; ensures the establishment of new cross-sectoral connections of HEI with potential stakeholders; increases the level of competitiveness of HEI in the service marketing; improves the material and technical base and contributes to the renewal of the infrastructure, the implementation of the main indicators of the activity of HEI, etc. The purpose of the research is the theoretical substantiation of the organization of management of investment activity and research verification of the level of readiness of subjects of investment activity to the interaction of state and public institutions in the organization of management of investment activity of the HEI.
