50th Class Reunion Giving
The progress thermometer represents totals as of July 31, 2020.
To recognize the loyalty of our 50th Reunion Class, the reunion giving period runs from the 45th - 50th Reunion years. The class of 1970’s giving period is (January 1, 2016- December 31, 2020).
A gift of any size to any designation within the reunion giving period will count toward your reunion class giving total. Class members can choose to support student scholarships, celebrate teaching excellence, provide financial relief for students after hardship, or write in a program that is close to their heart. Complete this online giving form to make a one-time gift, set a recurring payment, or to make a pledge. There are many ways to support IWU, find the one that best fits your life by checking out the Reunion Giving information page.
A simple and versatile way to ensure IWU fulfills its mission for years to come is by including IWU in your will or living trust (a charitable bequest). Contact Michele Brady, Senior Director of Advancement Gift Planning at 309-275-0835 or
