College Foundation. Please mail your contribution to:
Joliet Junior College
Office of Institutional Advancement
1215 Houbolt Road
Room H-1019
Joliet, IL 60431
Pledges
A pledge enables a donor to consider a more significant gift than would have been otherwise possible. If
you wish, you may make a contribution with payments spread over a period of time. Reminders will be sent
about your commitment. To obtain a pledge payment agreement form call (815) 280-2353.
Planned Giving
The Joliet Junior College Foundation's Planned Giving Program allows individuals the opportunity to
ensure the financial well-being of Joliet Junior College by making gifts that provide a maximum benefit for
the College, while decreasing the income tax, estate and gift tax burdens upon their estates and descendants.
Philanthropic giving can merge your personal financial needs and tax planning. With the assistance of your
tax and legal advisors, Joliet Junior College can assist you in making a difference in the future while you
gain the greatest benefits today.

Restricted and Unrestricted Giving
For more information on restricted or unrestricted giving please contact Kristen Mulvey
at kmulvey@jjc.edu or call (815) 280-2353.
What is an unrestricted gift?
An unrestricted gift is simply a gift to the Foundation with no restrictions from
the donor on how it is to be used. Unrestricted gifts support Joliet Junior College
by allowing the Foundation flexibility in determining how best to use the funds.
Why is unrestricted giving important?
Unrestricted giving is a chance for you to do the greatest good. The Foundation
directs these funds to where they can have the greatest impact. Unrestricted gifts
address current priorities and bring immediate benefits to the College as a whole,
taking advantage of unexpected opportunities and meeting necessary challenges.
