At Illinois, excellence requires vision, commitment, and the ability to adapt in a rapidly changing college athletics landscape. Illini Excellence gifts provide the resources needed to support our student-athletes and help Illinois Athletics continue building a championship-caliber department. 

In addition to making a meaningful impact, Illini Excellence gifts are tax-deductible and earn 2x I FUND Priority Points per dollar. These points help strengthen your I FUND membership level and enhance your access to valuable benefits, including preferred parking, priority consideration for postseason opportunities such as bowl games, neutral-site games, and the NCAA Tournament, as well as exclusive event invitations
