Leatherneck Legacy
Leatherneck Legacy (formally known as Western Illinois Now - WIN) is a program established in 1982 that provides supplemental funding for alumni activities, scholarships and improvements to the Alumni House. Thirty-three percent of your contribution helps support the Leatherneck Legacy scholarship; 50 percent serves as supplemental funding for various alumni functions across the United States and the rest of the contribution provides monies for improvements to the Alumni House.
How does this program help WIU?
WIU is state-assisted, not state-supported. Funding comes from many other sources. Specifically, your WIU Alumni Association relies on contributions from alumni and friends to help support its many programs.
Why should I donate?
The reasons are as varied as the people who give. The most important reason to donate is that each gift - your gift - will make a difference. Your donation is tax-deductible to the extent provided by law.
