Make a Gift to DURP

Endowments and funds established through the generosity of alumni, faculty and other donors contribute substantial operating support to the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, enabling us to attract high quality students, enrich our teaching and other activities, and maintain contact with alumni and friends. The financial support is especially important as state support as a percentage of the University of Illinois budget--and, by extension, our budget--continues to dwindle. Some of the endowments are dedicated to providing financial support to students, while others support connections with practitioners or specific fields of planning endeavor.

Please select the contribution(s) you would like to make or enter an alternative gift amount. Giving at any level helps us enhance our programs. After confirming the amount, you will be directed to the University of Illinois Foundation's secure online giving site, where you will enter your personal and credit card information.

The faculty and students of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning thank you for your support!
