Recognition and Thanks

We are truly grateful for the generosity of each of our donors, for we know that there are many great causes to support. Thank you for making public higher education a priority in your philanthropic goals.

Private support has been, and will continue to be, increasingly important to the life of the University as state funding for higher education in Illinois continues its steady decline. Now, more than ever, your support is critical in maintaining Northeastern's vision to "be a leader among metropolitan universities, known for its dedication to its urban mission, for the quality of its programs, for the success of its graduates, and for the diversity of its learning environment."

Northeastern thanks its donors in a variety of ways:

Giving Societies

Giving societies highlight the significant contributions donors have made to the University. Donors at a variety of levels receive unique opportunities to attend events tailored to celebrate their philanthropic investment.

Stewardship Events

Stewardship events allow the University to celebrate you, our donors, for your vital support of our mission. These events give us a chance to learn more about you, and share with you all the future goals, direction and focus of the University.

Donor Honor Roll

The donor honor roll brings special recognition to those donors who have supported the efforts of the University throughout the previous year, through gifts of cash, stock, real estate, in-kind items and more.
