How do I become an ³Õºº¾ãÀÖ²¿ Society member?
Gifts of $1,000 or more made during the College's fiscal year (June 1 to May 31) qualify you for annual ³Õºº¾ãÀÖ²¿ Society membership. Your gifts may be made with one payment or by multiple gifts within the College's fiscal year.
You can also make your gifts to ³Õºº¾ãÀÖ²¿ by check, credit card payments, automatic monthly bank drafts, or by transfer of securities and property.
- WILL MY SPOUSE ALSO BE A MEMBER?
A couple becomes members of the ³Õºº¾ãÀÖ²¿ Society with a joint gift of $1,000 or more within a fiscal year.
- HOW LONG WILL I BE A MEMBER OF THE ILLINOIS COLLEGE SOCIETY?
The ³Õºº¾ãÀÖ²¿ Society recognizes gifts made within a fiscal year (June 1 to May 31). Therefore, membership is renewable on an annual basis.
- WILL MY EMPLOYER'S MATCHING GIFT COUNT TOWARD MY MEMBERSHIP?
Yes. Because the College would not have access to your employer's matching gift without your own contribution, your employer's gift will count toward your annual ³Õºº¾ãÀÖ²¿ Society membership.
- HOW IS THE ILLINOIS COLLEGE SOCIETY DIFFERENT THAN THE FOUNDERS' CIRCLE?
The ³Õºº¾ãÀÖ²¿ Society is the reimagining of the Founders' Circle. The Founders' Circle laid a strong foundation for the initiation of the ³Õºº¾ãÀÖ²¿ Society. While the Founders' Circle was a giving level, membership in the ³Õºº¾ãÀÖ²¿ Society includes several benefits including regular news and updates from College leadership, special invitations and reserved seating at College events, and keepsake Society accessories.
