Donor Recognition
Thanks to the generous spirit of the alumni and friends of Illinois State University, as well as the many foundations and corporations that provide support, the University has achieved and will continue to achieve great things. This generosity enables Illinois State University to:
- Provide scholarships to attract highly motivated students
- Recognize and encourage academic excellence and diversity
- Fund faculty development and research
- Provide state-of-the-art equipment and facilities
Illinois State University historically distinguished its donors through membership in the Old Main Society. Today, four distinct donor societies recognize individuals, corporations, and foundations for their annual, cumulative, and deferred gifts, as well as gifts to the Laboratory Schools. These societies bring together the leaders who share, inspire, inform, and enable Illinois State University’s mission for academic excellence.
The Illinois State magazine fall 2012 issue includes a special section sharing stories about recent gifts to the University.
The Donor Recognition area of the website lists members of the donor societies: President’s Circle, 1857 Society, Heritage Society, Legacy Society, and Loyalty Circle.
The Donor Roll lists the names of all donors who made gifts to the Illinois State University Foundation during fiscal year 2012 (July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012).
