Giving Opportunities

The Law School is fortunate to have a strong financial endowment that sustains the institution. Strong as this endowment is, however, it must be perpetually grown and nurtured to ensure that the Law School’s potential for great achievement is never limited by a lack of resources.

Outright Gifts Heading link

The simplest, most common means of giving to the Law School is to make a gift of cash, securities, or personal property.

These gifts can be put to work immediately and allow the Law School maximum flexibility in continuing to strengthen our programs, improve our facilities and technology, and encourage outstanding scholarship from our faculty and students.

You can make a cash gift securely online or send a check made payable to “UIF/UIC Law” to:

University of Illinois Foundation
P.O. Box 734500
Chicago, IL 60673-4500

If you are making your gift by check, please identify the area of your support on the memo line.

To make a gift of publicly traded stocks or mutual funds, please contact a staff member in the Office of Alumni Relations & Development by phone at (312) 360-2663 or by email at law-alumni@uic.edu to let us know the name of the securities, the number of shares we may expect, and the designation of your gift.

You should consult your own tax, legal, and accounting advisors before engaging in any transaction.
