State funding and tuition cover only a portion of the total cost it takes to deliver IU’s life-changing experience and world-class education. Charitable giving offsets much of the difference; however, nearly 99 percent of these gifts are designated for a particular IU cause.
This makes the remaining 1 percent of philanthropic gifts—flexible funding used at the discretion of IU’s president—particularly vital to IU. These gifts support needs that might otherwise go unanswered, such as emergency scholarship assistance and cultural programs that enrich campus life.
The Well House Society is also a leadership annual giving donor recognition society. To become a member of the Well House Society:
Thank you for helping IU seize every opportunity and respond to every unforeseen challenge it can!
Members of the Well House Society are among IU’s most steadfast supporters. Their backing is vital to the university’s well-being, allowing us to respond to unexpected and urgent needs, including emergency scholarship assistance to students. I look forward to working with the Well House Society to collectively strengthen IU’s capacity to transform the lives of students, families, and our communities.
