SIU Foundation Makes History

The Forever Campaign for Southern Illinois University
SIU Foundation

SIU

The SIU Foundation received a record-breaking number of gifts this Fiscal Year, leading to the organization’s second-best fundraising year.

The SIU Foundation raised over $31.2 million dollars and awarded over $4.9 Million Dollars in scholarships to students.

The SIU Foundation’s outreach efforts connect with alumni and donors in Southern Illinois and across the country. With support from event such as SIU Day of Giving and the inaugural Saluki Ball, the Foundation received support from more people than ever.

The Foundation hosted Saluki Takeover Tours in Chicago, St. Louis, Nashville, Tennessee, and the Florida Gulf Coast. During these events, alumni meet with university leaders, gather with friends, and rekindle connections. This year, Southern Illinois and Springfield will be added to the takeover tour schedule.

Championed by Chancellor Austin Lane and his leadership team, the Forever SIU campaign aligns with the pillars of the Imagine 2030 strategic plan.
