Few gifts are as rewarding. The school is a state-assisted institution, but less than 25 percent of its total operating budget is appropriated by the General Assembly of the state of Indiana. The rest must come from tuition and fees, and gifts from the private sector.
Private gifts help the school provide the quality of education for which it is known.
Contributions from alumni, corporations, and friends help fund teaching, research, student fellowships, special equipment, guest lecturers and speakers, and many other priorities. For the donor, in addition to the satisfaction that comes from contributing to the future of the school, there may be significant tax and estate planning benefits. Ways of giving Cash and checks mailed before the end of the year will enable you, if you itemize, to take an income tax deduction for your gift. More than 1,000 American companies have adopted corporate matching gift plans to help support higher education. Under these plans, the corporation matches gifts made by employees.
