The Gem Legacy
The ISU Foundation works to ensure that donors to Idaho State University receive appropriate recognition on campus and in their communities. Based on annual and lifetime giving levels, individuals and organizations who invest in the university become members of the Gem Legacy. Donors will be listed, if they so wish, in the Foundation's annual report as well as in Outlook, the ISU alumni publication. In addition, members of the Gem Legacy are invited to the annual President's Recognition Banquet.
The Gem Legacy includes separate criteria for listing individual and corporate/foundation donors.
