Annual Fund

Illinois College
Make an immediate impact with direct support through the IC Fund.

More than 4,000 students have felt the immediate impact of the $7.8 million raised for the IC Fund since the launch of Inspiring Achievement.

This year, more than 1,000 donors came together for the College’s annual day of giving, ALL IN FOR IC, to support students through the IC Fund.

When Illinois College students take advantage of experiential learning opportunities such as internships, research, and travel programs, they are more prepared and competitive candidates for jobs and advanced degree programs. The support of IC donors helps students to attain these important learning opportunities and to prepare them for life after IC.

I knew I had to visit this college based on the scholarships that were offered. I really fell in love with the beautiful campus. It was President Farley’s first year and I got to meet with her. She knew me by name, which was amazing to me. Being on campus, I could tell that IC provides a supportive environment where students can explore and grow. I’ve had experiences beyond my imagination.
