All in For Wesleyan 2015

Posted on April 9, 2015 by kkerr

Today is All in for Wesleyan 2015! All gifts made today will be matched by an anonymous donor (up to $75,000). And this year, there’s a twist. Let me explain. Gifts to the Wesleyan Fund support student financial assistance and also the little, but essential, things that create the Illinois Wesleyan experience. So today we’re celebrating these little essentials — the unsung heroes. Make a gift today and your name could appear next to one of these items for a limited time.*

Give today and your name could be selected to grace the hot spot, the WESN microphone, and other pieces of campus that will be announced throughout the day. (Learn more)

Give today and your gift will be matched by an anonymous donor.

Give today and show that you’re proud to be a Titan! *Like annual gifts, naming rights expire at the end of the fiscal year…but internet photos last forever. Photos of the selected names engraved on plaques, affixed to the items will be published on the last day of spring semester, April 21.

I hope you will join me in making a gift TODAY! It only takes a moment and any amount really makes a difference.

Thank you and I’m All In!

Thank You From IWU

Posted on February 12, 2015 by classnews

February 16th is Thank A Giver Day — a day when the Illinois Wesleyan campus community celebrates the generosity of our supporters. We celebrate Thank A Giver Day on February 16th because at this point we’re 70% of the way through the school year. Since tuition covers 70% of the total cost of an IWU education, it’s a fitting time to draw attention to the fact that outside support from alumni and friends of the University plays a key role in delivering the kind of educational experience we expect from our alma mater.

Last year, over 8,000 people made gifts to Illinois Wesleyan University and, regardless of the size, each and every one played a role in keeping Illinois Wesleyan strong. If you would like to take a moment to make your annual gift, we invite you to do so at iwu.edu/give.

Go Titans!
