The Cornerstone Society honors donors whose estate plans benefit Northern Illinois University. Through their planned gift, these donors transform the NIU experience, inspire discovery and innovation, and become the cornerstone to sustain NIU.

Cornerstone donors are members of our philanthropic community who have demonstrated a commitment to moving NIU forward through the eras. Planned gifts allow the University to prepare for growth of strategic initiatives and help our donors with tax deductions, tax avoidance, income-generation, and generational wealth transfer.
