Parents Circle
Five parent Leadership Giving societies make up the Parents Circle, which recognizes annual donations of $1,000 or more to any GW school or program. Members of these societies believe strongly in the mission of the University and the role of parent philanthropy in higher education. Support from this special group of parents inspires other donors.
Parents Circle members become part of the Luther Rice Society, a University-wide giving society that encompasses all parents, alumni, and friends who give a leadership gift of $1,000 or more annually.
Parents Circle members make a difference! Please consider joining the Parents Circle at one of the levels below and becoming part of a group of distinguished parent donors. GW greatly appreciates your generous support.
