Finding a cure Supporting an educator Sustaining a student Building a future Creating beauty
In November 2005, the Southern Illinois University Foundation launched its first-ever comprehensive campaign with a goal of raising at least $100 million to further the people, places and programs that are the essence of Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Our faculty, students, staff, alumni, friends and family see our University’s future clearly. They know that gifts made to Southern today will provide new opportunities to each generation that will follow. The Opportunity Through Excellence Campaign supports the vision we created in Southern at 150: Building Excellence Through Commitment. It will let us continue to provide excellence through teaching, research and service. The following pages of this annual report provide examples of how private gifts continue to make a difference at Southern. We hope you will share our excitement, and invite you to envision our University as it continues to reach out to new generations of Salukis.

Envision finding a cure.
John Simmons has fought for the rights of cancer victims as an attorney. Last year, Simmons, his wife, Jayne, and his law firm helped Southern take a major step toward the day when such legal services might not be needed. The $10.2 million pledged by the Simmons family and law firm SimmonsCooper LLC will fund the SIU School of Medicine’s SimmonsCooper Cancer Institute. It is the largest single gift to the University in its nearly 150-year history. Envisioned as one of the leading cancer research programs in the world, the SimmonsCooper Cancer Institute will employ 100 research and support staff at the School of Medicine in Springfield. They will use the latest technology as they search for a cure. Simmons’ law firm is a leader in representing cancer victims, particularly people afflicted with those forms of the disease connected to asbestos exposure. The gift is aimed at finding a medical solution for the 3,000 people diagnosed annually with such diseases, as well as other cancer-related illnesses. A portion of the pledged donation will endow a chair at the institute specifically focused on all respiratory forms of cancer. Southern Illinois University Carbondale, through the SIU School of Medicine and the SIU School of Law, is one of just 20 universities in the country offering a joint J.D. and M.D. degree. This arrangement puts the SimmonsCooper Cancer Institute at the center of valuable conversations between physicians and lawyers as they share information on treatments. Simmons, through both his generosity and continued work on the University’s Board of Trustees, is helping researchers envision a cure for the disease.
Envision supporting an educator.
Caterpillar Inc. The company’s name is synonymous with power and strength harnessed for construction and mining operations around the world. Watching one of its earth-shaking, two-story mining trucks rumble along, one might not think about the vision, planning and financing on the front end of bringing such a monster to life. Lynn McPheeters, who retired from Caterpillar in 2005 as vice president and chief financial officer, knows a thing or two about laying the foundation for future success. After a 40-year career with Caterpillar, the Southern Illinois University Carbondale alumnus and his wife, Susan, recently helped ensure his alma mater’s business program will have a solid footing. Through the SIU Foundation, the couple donated $585,500 in appreciated Caterpillar stock to the College of Business and Administration, where Lynn McPheeters earned his degree in accounting in 1964. After 10 years, the funds will be available to support the college’s first endowed chair. The family has a long record of service and generosity with the college. This latest gift, however, is specifically targeted for the dean’s position, which will enable the University to bring top talent to this critical post. The business leaders of tomorrow will reap the benefits of the McPheeters’ vision and generosity for decades to come by learning from the best, most successful professionals in the field. That means they’ll be ready to do some earth shaking of their own.
Envision sustaining a student.
For 37 years, the woman faithfully reported to work at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. To her, the automotive technology program was a place where the people were more like family than co-workers. When she decided to retire at the age of 86, she had only one question for her family at Southern: “How can I continue to help the program and its students?” “It is a very close department,” said Jack Greer, the program’s chairperson. “She knew a lot of the students, and she mothered a lot of them, too. “Her work was her life.” In the end, she decided to donate $25,000 to establish an endowed scholarship. The interest from the endowment will be used annually to help defer an automotive technology student’s costs. Her one wish was to remain anonymous in making this contribution. The scholarship’s background information states simply that the woman, through her donation, wished to “demonstrate her continued and enthusiastic support of the program,” which is part of the College of Applied Sciences and Arts. Students and their parents know earning a degree often comes down to whether a student has money for that month’s expenses. Her donation currently provides about $750 a year for a student. This career civil servant had the vision to see the need, and the heart to do something about it.

Saluki Way.
A university is many things, much of which is intangible. Its physical manifestation – its footprint and form, its bricks and mortar – give those more ethereal elements a place to reside and thrive. A university’s facilities are the sturdy vine from which the fruit of higher education can gain shelter and flourish. With Saluki Way, Southern Illinois University Carbondale soon will embark on its most ambitious building project in decades, securing the University’s sense of place and permanency both regionally and nationally while vastly improving the student life and learning experience. Saluki Way is a master plan that will create a new campus core stretching from Altgeld Hall on the north to a refurbished SIU Arena at its southern tip. It will include new academic, student support and athletics facilities. Envisioned as a private-public venture, Saluki Way will help attract top students, educators and staff by creating top facilities that demonstrate the University’s commitment to high-quality education. The building program will forever change the face of the University, brightening its “front door.” The plan includes a new football stadium and contemporary classroom buildings. Tradition, talent, experience and commitment to excellence all are part of what makes a university work. Saluki Way will give those concepts a place to abide at Southern.

Artists and designers know good work pays off exponentially, both in the satisfaction and material reward it brings to its creator and the enjoyment it bestows on those who appreciate its beauty and genius. It grants its author the freedom to further explore the craft and investigate new avenues in delighting the human senses. Now, through a new matching endowment, patrons of the School of Art & Design in the College of Liberal Arts at Southern Illinois University Carbondale have the opportunity to share in that compounding principle of creativity. The Windgate Foundation recently committed up to $500,000 to the School of Art & Design’s research and scholarship programs. Windgate will donate a dollar for every dollar others donate, making the potential value of the endowment $1 million. Half of the money would support students as they master ageless crafts such as metalsmithing, glass blowing, and drawing, as well as modern industrial design and art education. The rest would seek to bring talented undergraduates to Southern through scholarships. For decades, the University has turned out scores of students who go on to lead the way in art and design. Some have returned to Southern or joined other learning institutions as teachers, augmenting their contribution to such fields. The endowments bring the opportunity.  Like most, this one comes with a window. The University has up to two years to match the two $250,000 endowments. Donors can amplify their support for Saluki designers and artists of the future.
Donors contributed almost $4 million to endowment accounts during FY05.

Endowments The SIU Foundation holds endowment contributions and invests them for perpetuity. A portion of the revenue generated from the endowment accounts is transferred to corresponding current accounts and used according to the donor’s restrictions.

Donors contributed almost $4 million to endowment accounts during FY05. Many of the contributions were designated for scholarships, research and for the general support of colleges and departments.

Planned gifts are in the form of bequests, gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts and life estate agreements. Donors contributed a total of $14.9 million during FY05.
