Annual Gifts

Make an impact at IU right now

The enduring spirit and everyday success of Indiana University rely on annual gifts. Annual donors fuel what’s happening day to day in IU classrooms, on our campuses, and across communities. Their steady support is essential to:

  • Help when unexpected needs arise
  • Protect opportunities that students count on
  • Keep vital research projects going strong
  • Sustain and enhance our campuses

Giving what you can each year makes a difference

Some universities have a designated annual fund for alumni and friends to support. At IU, your contribution in a single calendar year to any fund—supporting any campus, school, program, or cause that matters to you—counts as your annual gift. Your impact is what you choose to make it.

From student support to sustainability, athletics to arts and culture, alumni programs to innovation and more, there are thousands of causes at IU that rely on donor support every year.

There’s an easy way to provide reliable support to your favorite causes—set up a recurring gift that renews monthly or annually.
