Campus Charitable Fund Drive
Together We Change Tomorrow
2026 CCFD Campaign
The Campus Charitable Fund Drive brings University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign faculty, staff, and retirees together to support charitable organizations and create positive change locally, nationally, and globally.
Giving Together
One Campus. Many Causes. A Shared Commitment.
The Campus Charitable Fund Drive is the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign's annual combined charitable giving campaign for faculty, staff, and retirees.
For eight weeks each fall, members of our campus community choose the organizations and causes that matter most to them. Every donor directs their own contribution, making it possible to support a wide range of needs and communities.
