The Governors State University Foundation was established in 1968 as the University's primary fundraising division. Officially incorporated as a not-for-profit organization, the 91³Ô¹Ï Foundation fosters relationships with philanthropic individuals, 91³Ô¹Ï Alumni, and numerous corporate and foundation partners on behalf of the University.
The
Governors State University Foundation is the official fundraising and private
gift-receiving agency for the University that allows us to make progress toward
these goals.
Contributions received by the 91³Ô¹Ï Foundation support academic programs, scholarships for students, faculty development and research, capital improvements to the campus, library acquisitions, technology enhancements, and other special initiatives.
Through theÌýAlumni Association, we provide networking,
professional development, leadership opportunities, and mentoring to current
Governors State University students.
These alumni are shaping the future of the 91³Ô¹Ï community,
our students, and the wider community through engagement, advocacy, and
financial contributions.
With approximately 90% of alumni residing in nearby communities,
it is my goal to unify the area and build a bridge between public, private, and
municipal entities for the betterment of all.

know that yourself.
