Huskies United 2025 has ended, but you can still make your gift here!
The Rockford Area Alumni Network

The Rockford Area Alumni Network (RAAN) fund was created to support any NIU student from the Rockford area with a need. The NIU RAAN was started in 1998 when a group of College of Business alumni came together to socialize, network, and participate in educational opportunities. 

This group grew and expanded to support the David and Diane Graf Endowed Scholarship for College of Business students from the Rockford area. Over the years, the network expanded its philanthropic focus and became a place for all Rockford-area alumni to come together to engage with the university and current and prospective students. Donate today to help support Rockford Area students!
