Invest Where It Matters Most

Support Our Area of Greatest Needs Fund

This Ivy Tech Day, every gift goes further—supporting the Evansville and Tell City campuses through our Area of Greatest Needs Fund. These flexible, unrestricted dollars allow us to respond quickly, act strategically, and serve our students in the ways they need most—right when they need it.

From breakthrough opportunities to unforeseen challenges, this fund ensures Ivy Tech remains a source of strength, hope, and momentum for every student walking through our doors.


What Your Gift Makes Possible

When you give to the Area of Greatest Needs Fund, you're fueling:

Student Support Services – including transportation assistance, food pantry resources, and other wraparound support

Emergency Aid – quick-response funding for students facing unexpected financial hardship

Faculty Innovation – supporting faculty development, training, and new teaching tools

Campus Enhancements – modern technology, upgraded labs, and classroom tools that elevate the learning experience

New Opportunities – pilot programs, special initiatives, or partnerships that expand access and impact

Your support ensures that no opportunity is missed—and no student is left behind.


Real Needs. Real Impact.

Whether it’s covering an emergency expense that keeps a student enrolled or investing in technology that brings a class to life, your gift to the Area of Greatest Needs Fund makes a powerful difference—immediately and meaningfully.
