With Illinois Campaign Leaves a Legacy That Will Enrich the Illinois Experience for Generations to Come At Illinois, we have been achieving the “impossible” for more than 150 years—from expanding access to an Illinois education to creating the world’s first engineering-based school of medicine to facing society’s greatest challenges head on. We prove again and again that anything is possible With Illinois.

Over the last five years, the With Illinois campaign brought together supporters with the shared goal of making the world a safer, healthier, and more productive place through philanthropic support of Illinois. The generosity and the confidence of thousands of alumni, friends, and corporate partners raised $2.7 billion that will translate into new opportunities for generations of Illini to come, building the foundation for the next century of “impossible” achievements. A critical piece of this puzzle is the impact that comes from the thoughtful planning of our donors who have made deferred gift commitments to support the future of Illinois. And we’re not stopping even though the With Illinois campaign has concluded. We continue to nurture the experts, discoveries, and ideas that will transform our collective future, with our supporters amplifying the work we do to change the world for the better. Thank you to all of you who came together to make our With Illinois campaign the most successful philanthropic achievement in our history. Sincerely, Robert J. Jones Chancellor, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
