The mission of the Flames Athletic Fund is to provide a philanthropic portal of game-changing resources for the scholar-athlete's journey toward championship excellence.

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made to the University by their employees, retirees, and/or spouses.

From student scholarships and technology upgrades to faculty support and innovative research, your generosity makes a powerful impact on the University—and on the world.

To find out if your company has a matching gift policy, please enter your employer’s name below. If your company is in our database, you may be able to access the forms/process needed directly through this search as well.

The University of Illinois Foundation is a 501(c)3 charitable organization with 
EIN 37-6006007.
