Illinois Tech Visionaries

Who are Visionaries?

Visionaries transform lives through their generosity. Illinois Institute of Technology was founded in 1890 to lift up people of all backgrounds with education that would meet the technological needs of the age.

Illinois Tech Visionaries are alumni, parents, and friends who are honored for their commitment to this mission, and are recognized for their culmulative giving of $1,000 or more annually.

Your Impact

Visionaries change the direction of someone's life.

Thirty-eight percent of Illinois Tech students are Pell grant-eligible, which means they demonstrate serious financial need. More than $30 million in scholarships are awarded each year to make an Illinois Tech education accessible to the best and brightest students regardless of their ability to pay.

This “needs blind” approach to admission has been Illinois Tech’s core mission since 1890, ensuring students from all economic backgrounds have access to a great education.

Without the support of Visionaries, many students would not be able to come to Illinois Tech. The fact is, these students will likely be the top earners and leaders in their respective fields, which means the impact of your  gifts, your investment, multiplies exponentially.

How do I join Visionaries?

You can join Visionaries by making gifts totaling $1,000 or more to Illinois Tech each fiscal year (June 1 through May 31). There are many ways to give, and one of the easiest ways to join Visionaries is through a recurring monthly gift. Monthly giving allows you to spread your giving throughout the year, and with a recurring gift of only $84 per month, you will become a member of Visionaries.
