Illinois College Society
“In some sense you are giving back to what was given to you as a student or as a young person when you give to Illinois College. And you are paying something forward for future generations. The money that we give to Illinois College has a direct impact on the lives of students. These students are going to become the leaders and the practitioners in their professions; we are bettering the world every time we better a student at Illinois College."
Investments made by Illinois College Society members ensure that the College realizes its vision to build an international reputation for inspiring achievement and empowering students to make a difference in the world. Listed below are lifetime members, who have made gifts totaling more than $100,000, as well as annual members who joined the Society by making a gift of $1,000 or more between June 1, 2022 and May 31, 2023.
