Mission
The mission of the IIT Office of Institutional Advancement is to build relationships and partnerships that raise philanthropic resources from alumni, friends, corporations and foundations to support IIT students, faculty, facilities and operations while enhancing alumni pride and the life of the university.
Our vision is to become the international model for fundraising, stewarding donors and enhancing relationships in a university setting.
As we reach for our vision, we hold to these values:
- IIT and the surrounding community is a place we cherish and believe in.
- Our work contributes to important discoveries and inventions, the education of students who will accomplish great things and the maintenance and improvement of our historic campus.
- Philanthropy serves the common good and is primary to the quality of life for everyone, everywhere.
- IIT alumni and donors are friends we honor and respect, and their generosity will be used to reflect their wishes.
- We support our colleagues within IA and around the university.
- Our work and performance are reflections of IIT, and we take pride in setting high standards and meeting them.
