Giving Societies
At ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, our appreciation of annual donations cannot be overstated. The support and generosity of the Mustang community strengthens all that makes ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ great and touches lives across campus. In short, ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ would not be all that it is today without our donors’ continued support, so we are pleased to honor them with membership in three different giving societies that recognize both loyalty and leadership giving.

President’s Associates
Each year ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ gratefully recognizes its President’s Associates, a select group of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ supporters who contribute $1,000 or more in current-use gifts to the University during ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½â€™s fiscal year.
Current-use gifts provide an immediate impact across all areas of university life – from funding scholarships and groundbreaking faculty research to enhancing the campus experience – building the foundation from which ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ can launch even more ambitious efforts to shape world changers.
President’s Associates enjoy exclusive, leadership-level opportunities to engage with ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, including special announcements and invitations, featured online content and more.
