Double your impact. Ask your employer if it sponsors a matching gift program and will match charitable contributions made to the university by their employees, retirees, and/or spouses.

To find out if your company has a matching gift policy in our database, please visit the University of Illinois Foundation website.

Payroll deduction is an easy way for university employees to make gifts directly and automatically from a paycheck. You may instruct the university to withhold a minimum contribution of $5 per month for a period of time (no less than three installments) or until you instruct them to discontinue the withholding.

To make your gifts via payroll deduction, complete the Payroll Deduction Authorization Form.

Annual gifts to the UIC Engineering Excellence Fund are a powerful form of support because the donations are unrestricted and allow the College to enhance the educational experience of engineering students. This fund provides support for more than 30 student organizations, student professional development conferences, the purchase of laboratory equipment, and other vital projects.

For more information, please contact Executive Director of Development Jason Elliott at jasone@uic.edu or (312) 996-2168.

UIC Engineering is continually strengthened by the generosity of our dedicated alumni and friends. As you reflect on your own goals, we hope that you will also consider a planned gift to the University of Illinois Foundation (UIF) to benefit the College through your will, living trust, or retirement plan. There are also ways to structure a gift to provide a lifetime income stream to yourself and/or a loved one while receiving an immediate income tax deduction. We’re happy to share customized illustrations for these types of arrangements at no cost or obligation.
