FAQ

Once a year, in February and March, faculty and staff come together to make a difference for the IUPUI campus, its programs, and students. Through the annual Faculty/Staff Campus Campaign, IUPUI employees direct their personal financial support to the programs and areas of the campus they care about most. These generous personal gifts provide resources to programs and units across the campus; resources that are not available anywhere else.

IUPUI gets money from the state of Indiana. Isn't that enough?

IUPUI is state-assisted, but the amount of state support is shrinking. The balance comes from tuition, fees, contracts, grants, and private gifts. Every great university depends on the generosity of individuals, corporations, and foundations to provide resources that are simply not available otherwise.

The support of the IUPUI family makes a real difference in the level of excellence we provide to our students.

 

I can only give a modest amount. How can that possibly make a difference?

All gifts are important! The Campus Campaign shows the power of each individual. One person's gift adds to another's, and another's, and another's; together, the gifts add up and become a significant amount very quickly. With each person doing what he or she can, we all make a big difference.

 

Where do Campus Campaign gifts go?

The beauty of this campaign is that YOU decide exactly where your gift goes. Faculty and staff may designate their gift to one of more than 1,400 campus accounts. In 2007, more than 400 areas across the IUPUI campus benefited through the Campus Campaign.

 

What are the campaign goals?

How do I make my payment?

Your gift may be made by completing a gift form and using cash, check, credit card, or payroll deduction.

 

Who do I contact for more information?

Each unit on campus has a volunteer coordinator who will provide employees with a gift form and additional information.
