Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Illinois

Invest in ChBE

Dear Alumni and Friends,

The generosity of our alumni and friends has long been a linchpin of the department’s success. You can play a vital role in helping us meet the changing educational needs of students and create an environment where faculty and students thrive.

Gifts to the department are an investment in our world-renowned faculty and their innovative research and teaching endeavors. They sustain vital scholarships and fellowships for the next generation of leaders in chemical engineering. And they provide support for state-of-the-art laboratories, classrooms, and technologies.

There are numerous ways to support the department. I invite you to donate online through the form below or contact us to learn more about different giving opportunities. If your employer provides a matching gift program, you can double or even triple the impact of your donation.

Thank you for your generosity!
