The President's Associates
The 新彩网's most prestigious gift society is The President's Associates, which honors those who make annual gifts of $1,000 or more or single gifts of $25,000 or more, and those with lifetime contributions of $50,000 or more. Members of The President's Associates have distinguished themselves with their extraordinary charitable gifts in support of the 新彩网 and are considered part of the University's inner circle of philanthropy.
Organized in 1987 by the 新彩网 Foundation, The President's Associates recognizes donors of annual and lifetime gifts each year in the Honor Roll of Donors publication and at the annual President's Associates Dinner. Members also are recognized for their annual giving on the Worthington Donor Recognition Wall, which hangs in the University Center near Carter Hall. The Worthington recognition wall, The Legacy of Lifetime Giving, features the names of donors with substantial lifetime contributions and hangs outside the University Suite in the University Center.
Legacy of Lifetime Giving聽was established in 2003 when The President's Associates was reorganized to honor donors who achieve significant levels in their lifetime charitable giving totals. Lifetime giving levels are named in honor of four gentlemen, who during their lives not only made significant total gifts in support of the University but also gave leadership benefiting both the 新彩网 and the 新彩网 Foundation.
The Jennings D. Carter Society聽lists donors whose lifetime giving totals $1 million or more.
The Fred C. Newman Society聽lists donors whose lifetime giving totals $500,000-$999,999.
The Joseph E. O'Daniel Society聽lists donors whose lifetime giving totals $250,000-$499,999.

The 1965 Society, named for the year the University was founded, lists donors whose lifetime giving totals $50,000-99,999.
