Donor Recognition Societies
GW values the generosity of our donors, and we know how to say "thank you."
Our donor recognition societies celebrate the impact that sustained giving has on the university’s ability to support our students, enhance academics, and attract and retain great faculty.

Those whose giving totals have reached $1 million or more are considered 1821 Benefactors of the society.
Heritage Society
The Heritage Society honors alumni, friends, faculty, and staff who support the George Washington University through a bequest intention, charitable gift annuity, charitable trust, or other planned gift.
Luther Rice Society
Luther Rice raised the necessary funding and lobbied President James Monroe and Congress to make George Washington’s vision of a university in the heart of our nation’s capital a reality. The Luther Rice Society is a vital connection among GW alumni, friends, and students.
