Submit Proposals for Funding to the 1867 Society, Deadline: February 10, 2012

Greetings from the 1867 Society, a group on campus dedicated to promoting student philanthropy at Illinois, for Illinois.  Would you like to receive funding for your group or department's project, event, scholarship, or initiative?  The 1867 Society Fund is a gift fund that allows student donors to vote on where they would like their money to go.   

In turn, we ask groups, committees, and departments to submit proposals for funding.  The 1867 Society has decided to extend the proposal deadline to February 10th, 2012.  Please visit https://illinois.edu/fb/sec/9040451 to submit a proposal with detailed information about your project. The 1867 Society Executive Board will then review this information and narrow the proposals down to a final three. These three projects will be announced at our 3rd annual "Wii Support Illinois" Wii Bowling tournament on February 28th! After the announcement, student donors will be able to vote on which project will receive the funding.  In the past, campus-based projects like the Undergraduate Library and the GIS Group of the Informatics Club have received funding from loyal and generous student donors.  Learn more about past recipients here.

Once again, we urge you to submit a proposal to receive funding from the 1867 Society fund. For more information about the fund or our organization, please visit our website at www.1867society.org.  Furthermore, if you are interested in having a representative of the 1867 Society come to your organization's meeting to present more information, email us at 1867society@gmail.com or 1867campus@gmail.com.

Please share this information with classmates and colleagues.  Thank you very much for your time.

The 1867 Society Executive Board
