How to Donate

Show your love for IU with a gift to us

The IU Alumni Association works hard to keep us connected to each other and to the university we love. But we don't operate on pride alone!

With your gift, we can offer more scholarships. Sponsor more events. And reach more alumni and future IU students than ever before.

You can show your support in a variety of ways.

Ensure we can support future generations of alumni

We rely on the Jerry F. Tardy Operating Endowment to ensure we can provide programs and services to IU alumni for generations to come.

You can add your support to the endowment, named for former IUAA President and CEO Jerry F. Tardy, BS’62, by giving to two societies.

1854 Society: When you make a donation of $1,854 or more, you’ll earn a spot in the 1854 Society, named for the IUAA’s founding on August 1, 1854. As a society member, you’ll get invited to exclusive events throughout the year. You’ll also have your name proudly displayed on a plaque at the DeVault Alumni Center.
Matthew Campbell Society: When you support the endowment through a planned gift bequest, you become part of the Matthew Campbell Society, named for the first president of the Society of Alumni in 1854.
