Women's Philanthropy Luncheon

Women's Philanthropy Luncheon

National trends show that women are increasingly becoming the face of wealth, giving and legacy. Women tend to be more generous with their wealth and contribute more frequently. The desire to create a personal connection and meaningful relationships demonstrates a desire to give both time and financial resources. The annual Women's Philanthropy Luncheon is an opportunity for women philanthropists to connect and learn about opportunities to support the UIS community.

Celebration of Philanthropy

Celebration of Philanthropy

The University of Illinois Springfield and the University of Illinois Foundation host an annual Celebration of Philanthropy event to celebrate individuals who make a difference through philanthropic support. Each year the William E. Winter Award for Outstanding Advocate Leadership is given to recognize individuals outside the university structure who play active roles in securing private support.

2024 Faculty & Staff Campaign Kick Off Celebration

Mark your calendar for Thursday, February 29! We'll be celebrating this year's Faculty & Staff Campaign kick off celebration on Leap Day. Faculty and staff can enjoy a whirlwind of goodies, a mouthwatering free lunch and the chance to learn about different areas on campus they can support. It's all happening in the Student Union ballroom from noon to 1:15 p.m. You don't want to miss it!

Ambassadors

2025 Ambassadors

The campaign is led by 52 Ambassadors who talk to their colleagues about the importance of giving. A big shoutout to them! They’re on a mission to spread the campaign magic without knowing who’s already in on the action. Need gift forms, payroll deduction cards and return envelopes to make it easy for you.

Campaign Leadership
