Donor Recognition & Benefits
All donors are thanked and publicly recognized (unless they wish to remain anonymous) in a manner appropriate to the size and nature of their gift. Donors are regarded as friends of the college and, as such, are given a variety of incentives to participate in all that the college has to offer outside the classroom. Donor recognition, benefits, and incentives increase with the level of a gift, and include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Listing of the donor's name in the foundation's annual report, website, and/or other marketing and promotional materials
- Opportunities to serve as a volunteer on one of the foundation's various fund raising and 'friend raising' special events planning committees
- Invitations to/notifications of all foundation and college events open to the public
