Giving Circles

The Chicago State Foundation’s Donor Honor Roll recognizes individual donors who have given back in the past three (3) years and have made cumulative lifetime gifts of $500 or more. Donor Honor Roll members play a critical role in transforming the lives of our students and ranking Chicago State University’s in the top 4% nationally for increasing the economic mobility of our graduates by increasing their lifetime earnings by over $835,000. This donor honor wall is one of our ways to say thank you for helping make this happen.
