Foster a culture of philanthropy. Strengthen Sycamore success.

Faculty and staff at Indiana State University play a vital role in shaping students' futures, and their generosity through giving further strengthens the University’s mission. By making a gift, faculty and staff demonstrate their commitment beyond the classroom and workplace, directly supporting scholarships, academic programs, and campus initiatives that enhance the student experience. All faculty and staff are exempt from gift fees and can give through payroll deduction.

Giving through payroll deduction is a simple way to make an impact at Indiana State. A small monthly donation can grow to be a substantial gift by the end of the year and create a positive difference in the lives of students, faculty, and staff on our campus. View the Payroll Deduction Chart to learn more about how you can maximize your giving to Indiana State through your payroll deduction pledge.

To sign up for payroll deduction or to make changes to an existing payroll deduction pledge, contact the Division of University Advancement at 812.237.6100.
