University of Illinois Foundation

Established in 1935, the University of Illinois Foundation is the official fundraising and private gift-receiving entity for the University of Illinois System and its three universities: University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Illinois Chicago, and University of Illinois Springfield. The Foundation, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, is an independent and separate nonprofit entity from the University of Illinois. Its mission is to encourage and administer private gifts and serve the UI System by working closely with alumni, faculty, corporations, foundations, and development staff to create fundraising programs and opportunities that benefit the University of Illinois.

The foundation offers leadership and coordination across the development program at the University of Illinois to identify strategic opportunities for continued growth and enhancement. Additionally, it provides leadership and guidance in areas that require specialized expertise, including campaign planning and deployment, donor engagement, marketing, and events management. The foundation’s gift planning experts also share their extensive knowledge in matters of taxation, investments, estate planning, and financial management, specifically as it relates to benefits donors can take advantage of through their giving to the University of Illinois.

The foundation is guided by a dedicated Board of Directors and an Executive Operations team that are committed to advancing the mission of the University of Illinois. Together, they provide governance, leadership, and operational expertise that enables the Foundation to serve donors, support the University of Illinois System, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the University of Illinois Chicago, and the University of Illinois Springfield.
