One person can make a major difference to the future of UIU. Every donation, no matter how modest, means so very much to the University. When combined with other contributions, annual fund giving helps bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of providing a college education.
One Goal
The Annual Fund’s goal is to meet the greatest needs of students, faculty and the University. These may include:
- Scholarship Assistance
- Classroom/Technology Upgrades
- Professional Development/Continuing Education
- Unexpected Expenses
Flexible funds for these and other needs are critical in meeting the challenges of providing a quality education.
A Strong UIU!
Flexible funds give the university the ability to better meet the needs of students and faculty now and in the future. Keeping UIU competitive with up-to-date equipment, technology and instructional resources is vital to helping students achieve their professional goals. Help UIU continue to build future leaders. Our strength is your strength. Show your Peacock Pride by making the UIU Annual Fund part of your annual charitable giving.

"We are happy to belong to the UIU family and would not be where we are today, personally or professionally, if we had not experienced UIU. We give because it makes us feel proud to be part of the 150 year history. By giving to the university, we are helping to build the foundation of learning for students at Fayette, our centers and learners spread throughout the world. We want to be part of the next 150 years, so future generations can learn and follow their dreams, as we have done. We are honored to be annual fund drive contributors. Go Peacocks!"

"I owe a lot to Upper Iowa for giving me the opportunity to complete my education. Now it’s payback time for all the doors it opened for me. I will continue to support this unique university of higher education."
Norman Beckham, '82 UIU Alumnus
Annual Fund Donor
"My years at UIU are memorable to me in many ways, but mostly because of my being able to have close, personal discourse with my professors. For the most part, classes were small enough to permit this. I feel that smaller colleges and universities are very important in today’s society as some potentially good students can be lost in the cracks of the much larger institutions. This was the case for me. It is for this reason that I try to give as much as I can to Upper Iowa’s Annual Fund Drive."
