The 1867 Society
Launched in 2008, the 1867 Society is a student-led effort that is building a tradition of giving to Illinois among current students.
Membership
Any current undergraduate, graduate or professional student who makes a monetary gift to any Urbana campus gift fund in a single fiscal year (July 1- June 30) will automatically become a member of the 1867 Society.
Students are encouraged to give to the 1867 Society Fund, the Annual Fund for their college or department, and/or funds that benefit students across campus such as the General Scholarship Fund, the Library Annual Fund or Student Affairs.
The 1867 Society Fund
The 1867 Society Fund is a gift fund that will be used to support a campus-based project. When students give to the 1867 Society Fund, their donation will be combined with others to make a powerful impact on campus. In the spring, they will receive an e-mail with several potential campus projects that could be funded by the 1867 Society Fund. They will be asked to vote for their top choice. Votes will be tallied and the dollars will be given to that project before the end of the school year.
