Ultimately, the Annual Giving Programs seek to apply your gifts to the enhancement of academic programs currently offered on campus in order to benefit UI students. Gifts are solicited through several mailings, a phonathon program, and personal visits. Mailings are sent throughout the year providing opportunities to support UI as well as providing current UI information. The UI phonathon program utilizes current UI students calling our alumni and friends to request support for University programs. Gifts to annual giving programs need not be large to make a real difference in the lives of today's students.
All gifts make a difference.
Additionally, your participation matters. Grant-making organizations consider participation when determining whether to make awards. High levels of participation from alumni, parents, and friends demonstrate support of UI's mission. Only you can decide the size of your gift. Charitable gifts of all sizes are significant and are gladly accepted.
