Donate to the School of Architecture

There are many ways to be involved in giving to the School of Architecture.

Ways to support

Any size monetary gift, an offer of volunteer efforts, provision of professional guidance and office internships, advice and mentorship, or firm tours all increase the value of an Illinois education for our students.

Financial support is key. Every year with donor support, we award scholarships, faculty awards, fellowships, programmatic and operational funds and professional lectureships to keep pushing our boundaries, redefining creativity in the classroom and in the field as well as expanding into the future of education. Your gifts can be useful in so many ways: giving yearly to an existing fund that supports travel or the classroom, creating an endowed fund that supports a scholarship, programming to our faculty in perpetuity, or, bringing the top practitioners and thought leaders to speak to our students and faculty, or participate in reviews. You can create impact with your gifts.

One of the most important things in maintaining excellence at the Illinois School of Architecture is the private support we receive from our alumni and friends. To attract and retain the best students, the best faculty, provide the best equipment and the best opportunities for learning and teaching, we must continue to ask for your generous support. It is pivotal in our shared successes now and in the future.

Please take a moment to give to one of the listed funds below entering your gift amount in the provided box next to the fund name. When you click “Continue” at the bottom of the page, you will be linked to the University of Illinois Foundation secure website, which will collect your gift information.

If you would like to discuss other methods of giving, major gifts, setting up an endowed fund, or are thinking about an estate gift, please contact Associate Director of Advancement Paula Santiago.
