Illinois State University invites everybody to contribute to the creation of the NPHC Plaza. Celebrating the legacy of the nine NPHC organizations, this Plaza is more than bricks; it's a tribute to unity, pride, and shared history. Alumni, friends, and companies have been asked to contribute $300,000 toward the project.

Thank you for giving to the NPHC Plaza!

Every gift counts, no matter what size. Thank you for participating in Birds Give Back and supporting our Redbirds!

The first 25 donors who give $100 or greater will qualify to receive a NPHC Water Bottle in appreciation (one per donor).

Gift Challenge on Our Day of Giving: We’re excited to announce a special challenge to support the NPHC Plaza project. The alumni fundraising committee has already made a generous commitment by investing $10,000 in this important cause. Now, we’re inviting you to join us in amplifying this impact! Your gift, combined with the committee’s $10,000 investment, will help us reach our fundraising goal and make an even bigger difference.  

Delta Sigma Theta member, Rhona Israel ’83, challenges the Redbird to join her to contribute to the creation of the NPHC Plaza and make history at ISU by commemorating the legacy of the Divine Nine. Rhona will make a gift of $1,000 to support this legacy!

Challenge! ISU Board of Trustees and Alpha Phi Alpha member Darren Tillis ‘94 wants to help solidify the legacy of the nine historically Black fraternities and sororities on campus. He will unlock $1,000 to the National Pan-Hellenic Council Plaza once we reach 30 gifts.

Help us reach our overall goal of $10,000 today!
