Leadership Giving
Members of Vision Circle and Leadership Circle are committed to enhancing the long-term excellence and impact of WILL's programs and services through leadership-level annual gifts.
The Vision Circle recognizes donors who contribute $1,000 or more each year to support WILL's programs on TV, radio, online and in the communities we serve. The Leadership Circle acknowledges gifts of $250 to $999 annually in support of WILL TV, radio, online and community programs.
These donors provide a significant share of WILL's yearly budget. In return, WILL expresses appreciation with benefits that include:
- Invitations to lunch and conversation with WILL managers, hosts, producers and staff
- Vision Circle Salon Series events
- Annual recognition in the WILL/Illinois Public Media Annual Report
- Priority registration for WILL tours and travel programs
- Opportunities to sponsor WILL radio or television programs or other WILL projects
Lifetime giving of $25,000 in outright gifts or $50,000 in deferred gifts to WILL and the University of Illinois earns Presidents Council recognition.
