ACI Gift Catalog

Think back to your college days. Was there a moment when a little help made all the difference?

For many students, that moment is happening right now. Your support goes beyond dollars; it’s a powerful act of empathy that transforms lives.

No student should have to choose between meeting their basic needs and earning a degree to pursue their dreams. Your gift to Associated Colleges of Illinois directly impacts first-generation and low-to-moderate income students, helping them persist, graduate, and build brighter futures.

Our gift catalog offers multiple ways that your donation can directly help a student get through some of life’s daily challenges. Whether it’s $25, $100, or $1,000, every contribution is a powerful investment in a student’s success.

Sometimes, a little help is all it takes to change everything—one student at a time.

100% of funds raised go directly to support students. If a program reaches full funding, we allocate your generous gift to another program to help as many students as possible.
