Endowment Gifts

Creating endowment funds leaves a permanent, positive legacy that will help educate students and play a significant role in keeping our academic programs relevant and at the forefront of liberal arts education. 

Gifts to the endowment are keys to expanding opportunities for Illinois College students to study abroad, to participate in a broad range of internships and to do research with faculty mentors. Such opportunities are well-proven vehicles for enhanced student learning and personal development.
