Pennies with a purpose!
How it all began...
Help support NEIU with your loose change. Every penny counts as the University works through an unprecedented lack of state support. All the coins collected will be donated to an unrestricted fund to best keep NEIU running for the future!
Please note that all donations should be given on a voluntary basis, and will not have any influence on your earned course grade.
Where we are now..
(Come back and visit often to watch US save NEIU!)
After students emptied pockets and backpacks with hearts filled with generosity to save their great university...
it was time to "match" their effort!
Let's show how far their "change" can go to support NEIU!

Every penny counts!
The original plan was to collect matching donations of the student change collection ($21.43), o.k. $22.00, it was easier to collect.
Or you can match the summer collection with $10.00.
All contributions are appreciated no matter the size, as it is the thought that counts!
We can keep NEIU going, penny by penny!
