You can help the Stevenson Center reach the next level of excellence
Help us serve more communities and more students. We want to reduce the cost of hosting a Fellow so that more underserved inner-city and rural communities can benefit from the great work of our students. Donations reduce that cost.
Other initiatives in need of funding include:
- specialized training for our students through workshops on campus and conferences abroad;
- support for student research projects, including capstone projects and theses;
- support for expansion of Stevenson Center programming into other departments or colleges; and
- policy-oriented and applied research on the processes, policies, and outcomes of community and economic development (e.g. economic forecasting; theories of community development practice, persistent poverty, efficacy of local economic development policy, school funding reform and consolidation, and community attachment).
For information on how to assist us in these goals and with our programs, please contact the Director of the Stevenson Center, Dr. Frank Beck (
or (309) 438-7090).
