Gift Recognition Societies

These gift recognition societies were created in 2002 to recognize and encourage gifts at specific levels. Membership in these societies is determined by the total amount of gifts given during a given fiscal year, which begins on July 1st and ends the following June 30th.

Separate gifts from spouses are combined for recognition credit. Matching gifts received during the year are also credited to the donor for qualification for different levels.

The Loyalty Society

Continual support keeps North Georgia strong. Starting in fiscal year 2009, donors will be recognized for their years of faithful support. Consecutive giving of any amount will be noted in the Honor Roll of Donors for those who have given every year for 5, 10, and 25+ years.

Thank you!

Benefits

All donors are listed each year in the Honor Roll of Donors in the President's Annual Report, and will be included in all appropriate categories.

Because members of the Steeple Societies are among the University's closest friends, they may also receive special invitations to campus events.

*NOTE: Lifetime President's Club membership remains valid, but no new members have been added since FY2000.
