Milestone Reached
Throughout the With Illinois campaign, Illinois alumni and friends have shown an extraordinary commitment to sustaining excellence, educating the leaders of tomorrow, and sharing the power of innovation with the world. We’ve exceeded our $2.25 billion fundraising goal, and with more than a year left in the campaign, there is still an opportunity to find your Illinois passion and make a difference by harnessing the impact we are having together, today, for generations to come.
We may have reached our goal, but we’re just getting started. Thank you in advance for being With Illinois!
