Donor Recognition
Leadership gifts fund everything from financial aid to undergraduate research, and are what enable the College to offer not only a good education but also a transformational experience for our students.
Giving Societies
We have four leadership giving societies:
The President’s Leadership Society recognizes donors – alumni, parents, friends, corporations, and foundations – who give more than $1,000 annually. Gifts can be designated to any giving opportunity and the total gift does not all need to go to the same area of campus.
- Cupola Level: $1,000 or more
- Cronogue Level: $2,500 or more
- Doherty Level: $5,000 or more
- Sutton Level: $10,000 or more
The Associate President’s Leadership Society recognizes donors who graduated in the past ten years.
Membership into the Associate President’s Leadership Society is earned by making a gift (or gifts) within the fiscal year that total the following amounts:
- 10 years out from graduation: $500
- 5-9 years out from graduation: $250
- 1-4 years out from graduation: $100
The Heritage Circle honors benefactors who have remembered the College with a gift through their will, trust, life insurance plans, or life-income program.

The Society of Mont-Â鶹ÊÓƵ-Michel recognizes individuals, companies, and foundations who have given in excess of $250,000 in support of the College. Donors are recognized for all gifts to the College, whether to the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Michael’s Fund, endowed or term scholarships, endowed funds, temporarily restricted funds, or capital projects.
This giving society is named in honor of the famed abbey in Mont-Â鶹ÊÓƵ-Michel, France. The Society of Â鶹ÊÓƵ Edmund served as caretakers for the abbey from 1867 to 1886. Just as the Edmundites served as caretakers of the abbey, Â鶹ÊÓƵ Michael’s College considers members of the Society of Mont-Â鶹ÊÓƵ-Michel caretakers of the College.
Loyalty Society
Leadership takes on many forms, and at Â鶹ÊÓƵ Michael’s loyalty is synonymous with leadership.
The Loyalty Circle recognizes those who have given to the College for three or more consecutive years.
