Donations to The Illinois Club
In 2006, The Illinois Club at the University of Illinois celebrated 100 years with a Decades of Giving Campaign. For this opportunity to increase our Scholarship Endowment, donors chose their favorite Decade to commemorate 100 years of The Illinois Club.
1906 – $ 50
1926 – $ 100
1946 – $ 150
1966 – $ 250
1986 – $ 500
2006 – $1000
We set a goal of raising $25,000 for our endowment fund and we succeeded by raising in excess of $26,000! All participants were acknowledged at various times in the newsletter and at events throughout our centennial year. Participants at the 2006 level were honored at a special reception at the President’s House in December of 2006.
In the years since the Club’s 2006 centennial, members have continued to donate generously, both to our endowment fund (now far above that $26,000!) and to the Current Use fund. Between these funds, resources support a good number of scholarships.
Please see the Scholarship Gifts section of this website for information about donating to the Club now.
