When you make an unrestricted gift, you are giving without any limitations or expectations on how the gift will be used. An unrestricted gift allows the University to act with maximum operational and intellectual flexibility, making it one of the most powerful the University receives. Please consider making all or a portion of your gift unrestricted to help the University meet unexpected needs and opportunities as they arise. You may allocate your unrestricted gift to the UIS Fund, or to a specific college, department or unit that you’d like to support.
