Ways to Give
Annual Fund Campaign
The Springfield College in Illinois Annual Fund is a program for soliciting ongoing support for the College’s programs and students. The funds donated by our alumni friends and parents help to cover a portion of the true cost of a Springfield College in Illinois education, making up the difference between tuition revenue and the actual expense. These funds are generally directed to the unrestricted fund (unless the donor requests the dollars to be put in a specific area).
By supporting the fundamental operations of the College, gifts to the Springfield College in Illinois Annual Fund impact almost every area on campus. Annual fund gifts support student scholarships, faculty recruitment and retention, library resources and acquisitions, computer upgrades, new technology in classrooms and labs, facilities maintenance, as well as student life outside the classroom.
Whether you give when a student calls you on the phone or in response to a letter, you are impacting the education of deserving students at Springfield College in Illinois.
