As a way to recognize and honor the generosity of Marietta College alumni and friends, new giving societies were established on July 1, 2009. These new societies include the President's Circle, the Erwin Academy, and the Legacy Society.
President’s Circle
Membership in the President's Circle is granted on an annual basis to Marietta College’s most loyal and generous donors. Gifts start at $1,835 and provide important, current-use funding for the College’s highest priorities or the President’s key agenda items each year. There are several levels within The President’s Circle to recognize donors appropriately:
Erwin Academy
Erwin Academy recognizes lifetime giving to Marietta College. Its name honors Cornelius B. Erwin, a man who was a long-time benefactor of the College.
Legacy Society
Donors can become members of the Legacy Society by documenting one of a number of planned gifts, which include bequests, charitable gift annuities, gifts of retirement plans, gifts of real estate, retained life estates, charitable remainder trusts and charitable lead trusts.
Forever Pioneer
This program allowing you to extend your gift into monthly installments which, when combined with other members, can add up to make a significant impact on campus for years to come!
The Sinclair Society
Consistent givers are the heart of Marietta College. Because of our most loyal donors who support year after year, we are able to move our mission forward and change the lives of our students. In recognition of this important commitment, we are pleased to honor those that consistently give by making them members of the Sinclair Society.
