Associated Colleges of Illinois is a collaborative group comprising 25 independent private colleges and universities in Illinois. Founded in 1952 and based in Chicago, it focuses on advancing liberal arts and sciences education and supporting underserved students in navigating college, career, and life. The organization seeks to strengthen independent higher education by increasing its effectiveness and efficiency through partnerships with business and community leaders. Its programs include scholarship fundraising, a Peer Mentoring Program across 11 member campuses to improve retention, and College-to-Career initiatives such as a career conference, boot camps, senior mentoring, and micro-internships. The organization maintains a relatively small staff. In 2025, Acifund participated in a launch event for the UiTM KKB Incentive Delivery & Impact Report, reflecting ongoing external engagement.
