Donor Recognition

At UIS and the University of Illinois Foundation, stewardship is the process by which we seek to be worthy of your continued philanthropic support. The goal of stewardship is to reaffirm the University’s appreciation to donors for their generous and continued support. It plays an important role in communicating to donors about the impact of their gifts.

We do this by:

Timely and accurate acknowledgment and reporting of gifts
Appropriate donor recognition
Adherence to donor intent
Prudent investment of donations
Effective and efficient use of funds
Coordination of major donor pledges, including confirmation and reminders as requested
Coordination of donor matching gift program(s)
Preparation of gift receipts for tax purposes
Honorary memorial notification as needed or requested

Here are some donor recognition levels available to donors:
