Illinois College celebrates ALL IN FOR IC on March 18

3.10.2026

Illinois College’s biggest fundraising event, ALL IN FOR IC, returns on Wednesday, March 18, 2026.

This is the ninth annual giving day for the College with a goal of bringing together alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends to support IC and its students.

The Illinois College Board of Trustees is generously matching all gifts to the IC Fund, providing doubled support for many annual needs on campus including scholarships, academics, athletics and campus life.

“This is an exciting day to celebrate Illinois College on campus and around the world,” Katie Carls, executive director of advancement and alumni engagement, said.

“Whether you are an alum, parent, student, faculty or staff member, community partner or friend, you open doors for Illinois College students. When you give to the IC Fund to go ALL IN FOR IC, every dollar is doubled and starts working immediately.”

Gifts to the IC Fund support the annual needs of students including scholarships, athletics, literary society and student organization support, academics and more.

Last year, over 1,100 donors raised $622,988 — directly benefiting students and programs across campus. This year, Illinois College hopes to build on that momentum and show once again how powerful the IC community can be.
