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.

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.

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.

Every March, we launch our campaign with a bang! Our faculty and staff don't just embrace the theme, they become living embodiments of it! Picture this: a spectacle of creativity and enthusiasm as our employees show off their costumes and transform their tables. Enjoy the images below highlighting our past themes.

Guess what? It’s that time of the year again for the Faculty & Staff Campaign at UIS! This isn’t just any campaign, though. This year, it’s all about embracing the magic of extra time.
This year’s theme is: Time is precious. Leap into Extraordinary. Let’s celebrate leap year since we have an extra day in 2024! What can you do with an extra 24 hours? What impact can you have? Make it count.
Welcome to the first e-newsletter for the UIS Division of Advancement! We are excited to share what we're working on and to share opportunities for collaboration.
