ILLINOIS ISSUES gratefully acknowledges financial contributions during the past year from the following:
Illinois Issues is also supported by
Sangamon State University and the University of Illinois and from the sale of subscriptions. Illinois Issues is a nonprofit organization. Because advertising is not accepted by the magazine, financial contributions from foundations, corporations, and individuals are necessary until subscription income covers basic costs. Circulation for this issue is approximately 4,500. If circulation continues to grow as it has during the first two years, Illinois Issues expects to become selfsupporting in three more years.
