Keep the Momentum Going

Consider a Gift for the Future

Last year was a year of unprecedented ups and downs. Like you, we at Northern Illinois University faced many unforeseen challenges. But, thanks to your support, we have emerged stronger and more focused on our mission than ever. We are excited to see what 2021 has in store for us, our communities and you.

We understand that supporting the organizations you care about while balancing your family’s needs continues to be a priority. These savvy gifts allow you to do both:

  1. Name Northern Illinois University as a beneficiary of your retirement plan assets or life insurance policy. You don’t need to part with assets today, but your future gift ensures we can continue our work for generations to come.
  2. Leave Northern Illinois University a gift in your will. With just one sentence, you extend your support of Northern Illinois University into the future.
