Fundraising Update: Giving and Giving Thanks

Please read more about how grateful we are for your partnership and the actions taken by your fellow partners to support RESULTS.

The notion that smaller dreams, more modest goals or diminished aspirations can somehow provide security in times of change and uncertainty, ultimately is an illusion . . . there can be no security in mediocrity or complacency. And there is no safety in standing still.

— Dr. Michael McRobbie, President of Indiana University in his 2008 Annual Report
