The current health and future vitality of McKendree depends on you. Facilities upgrades, endowment growth and other special projects would not be possible without your support. Opportunities exist in nearly every area of the University. Contact Brian Dulski, Director of Major Gifts, by calling 1-800-BEARCAT ext. 6823 or email bgdulski@mckendree.edu to find out how you can make a difference today.

Several options exist to ensure that both your needs and the needs of McKendree are met.

Capital Projects – Modern and attractive facilities are required to attract and retain the best and brightest students. By helping to construct new buildings or by renovating existing structures, you directly impact the quality of a student’s experience at McKendree.

Endowed Scholarships – By endowing a scholarship, you can benefit a McKendree student directly. Scholarships help defray the cost of an education. A student is left with more time to concentrate on academic and extracurricular activities without worrying about how to finance their education.

Memorial Gifts – A memorial gift is a great way to recognize a loved one. Memorials range from scholarships to academic chairs and from sports facilities to concert series. Many other opportunities are also available that ensure your loved one will be eternally recognized at the University.

Special Projects – Each department at McKendree has unique needs. From cutting edge measuring instruments in a chemistry lab to state-of-the-art musical instruments in the band room, you can make a tremendous impact on a specific department. McKendree students benefit directly from using modern equipment usually reserved for their university and graduate counterparts.

How to Make a Gift – Several methods may be used to fulfill your wish to support McKendree. Stocks, bonds, IRA’s, real estate, cash and capital assets can be used to fund a major gift. By making a gift to McKendree you may also reduce or eliminate your tax burden on long held, highly appreciated assets.
