Inspiring Achievement: The Campaign for Illinois College

Campus
History in the making
Inspiring Achievement will launch students toward success, ignite leadership and learning and make an immediate impact on the College. The Campaign is already impacting the College. It’s evident in our world-class facilities, our growing academic programs and expert faculty and in the achievements of our talented students. However, there is still work to be done. You can help extend our extraordinary legacy into the future by joining us.

Inspiring Achievement: The Campaign for Illinois College is a $50 million comprehensive capital campaign focusing on initiatives that will have a major impact on the future of Illinois College. By supporting the Campaign, you are helping to advance the College’s mission in several key areas. You are also making Illinois College history.

When the Campaign publicly launched in 2019, 72% of the goal had been reached. Today, we are less than $10 million away from reaching our final goal and completing the most ambitious fundraising campaign in college history. Even with challenges and widespread hardships so many of us have faced during the pandemic, our community has remained tight knit.

We are proud of how our alumni and friends have banded together and how they have shown support for Illinois College. This support is a declaration that the IC tradition will live on, only possible because of the extraordinary people who are a part of the Illinois College legacy. If your name is listed in this honor roll of donors, you have made a meaningful impact in Inspiring Achievement.

We are truly grateful.
