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!
