IIT Giving Day

On Tue., Nov. 17 the College of Architecture and the IIT community joined together to help make an impact at the College of Architecture. Our alumni and supporters met the Galvin Challenge and, as a result, Perkins + Will donated an $10,000 to the College of Architecture Scholarship Fun. Congratulations to everyone who donated and a special thanks to CoA Board of Overseers member Ralph Johnson from Perkins + Will.

IIT had been issued a challenge by Trustee Mike Galvin, when we received 300 donations on IIT Giving Day he provided $50,000 for IIT. Thanks to the architecture firm, Perkins + Will when we met the Galvin Challenge an extra $10,000 was added to the College of Architecture Scholarship fund.

Due to a generous gift from the estate of alumna Julia Anderson (BIO ‘75), for every College of Architecture alumni donor on IIT Giving Day, an additional $250 was added to the College of Architecture Scholarship fund.

Every donation—no matter the size—got us one step closer to thousands of dollars in funding for College of Architecture students
