Additional Info

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:

  • Donors age 41+ must make a minimum annual gift to IU of $2,000 with at least $1,000 of the gift designated to the Well House Society fund.
  • Donors ages 40 and under must make a minimum annual gift to IU of $1,000 with at least $500 of the gift designated to the Well House Society fund.

Thank you for helping IU seize every opportunity and respond to every unforeseen challenge it can!

Your giving matters

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.
