Donor Recognition

Donor Recognition

Agnes Scott gratefully acknowledges the thousands of alumnae, friends, corporate and foundation partners, parents, faculty and staff who made gifts and pledges to the college in fiscal year 2011-2012 (July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012). Your gifts help maintain and advance the excellence of the Agnes Scott experience.

In addition to the annual Donor Report, Agnes Scott recognizes the generosity of donors through individual acknowledgments, giving societies and events.

The Tower Circle Leadership Giving Societies

The Tower Circle recognizes donors of $1,000 or more to The Fund for Agnes Scott. Members are honored at the annual Tower Circle Dinner and receive special recognition in the college’s annual donor report.

The commitment and generosity of these alumnae, parents, organizations, friends, faculty and staff is extraordinary and serves as inspiration to others. Gifts at the Tower Circle level are the heart of The Fund for Agnes Scott and comprise 80 percent of annual giving.

Membership in the Tower Circle must be renewed annually with a gift of $1,000 or more to The Fund for Agnes Scott. For more information about becoming a member of the Tower Circle please contact Joanne Davis at 404.471.5343 or jadavis@agnesscott.edu.

Employer-funded matching gifts can count toward membership in the Tower Circle. To see if your employer matches gifts to higher education, use our e-match system or contact your personnel office.

The Fideles Society honors donors who have made personal gifts for three or more consecutive fiscal years to The Fund for Agnes Scott. The Fideles Society recognizes this loyalty without regard to the amount of giving; indeed, every gift counts. Members proudly display the Fideles Society decal on vehicle windows and are noted in the annual fund section of the Donor Report with a superscript F symbol by their names.

Membership in the Fideles Society is maintained each fiscal year by a personal gift to The Fund for Agnes Scott. While greatly appreciated, corporate matching gifts do not count toward individual membership. If a fiscal year passes in which the member does not make a gift to the annual fund, membership is suspended until the donor resumes annual fund support for three consecutive fiscal years.

The Frances Winship Walters Society recognizes alumnae and friends who support Agnes Scott through their estate plans or other planned gifts. A social event in their honor is held every year during Alumnae Weekend, the third weekend in April.
