Private and perpetual financial support ensures that the College of ACES will continue to fulfill the land-grant mission. The College of ACES goal for our current giving campaign is $200 million.
Gifts received during the With Illinois campaign will drive transformational learning opportunities, groundbreaking research, and public impact. With continued uncertainty in state funding, the college must shift to more reliable, diversified funding platforms to ensure progress and innovation.

ACES alumni build relationships by recruiting, mentoring, speaking in classes, providing leadership and job shadow opportunities, offering financial support, and volunteering.

The Office of Advancement is here to work with you as we support the College of ACES in developing students, conducting innovative research, and building communities.

The foundation raises funds to support local and state 4-H programs for kids to continue to grow with the largest youth development organization in America.

ACES students serve as ambassadors for the college, providing support to potential and current students while acting as student body representatives at events on and off-campus.
Now more than ever before, private and ongoing financial support ensures that land-grant institutions, such as ours, continue to be places where progress and innovation flourish.
