President's Circle

Through your President’s Circle support, your leadership investment not only benefits the University’s mission to educate hearts and minds, but also allows Redlands to initiate innovative projects that make a notable difference for our students and faculty.

The University is especially grateful to this prestigious group, which makes up nearly 13% of its annual donors. President’s Circle supporters will receive exclusive communications throughout the year regarding Redlands news and events, including exclusive leadership receptions. To further demonstrate the significant impact made possible by President’s Circle donors, the University is pleased to recognize our donors within these giving levels:

  • Cornerstone Society - $25,000 and above
  • Founders Society - $10,000 - $24,999
  • Scholars Society - $5,000 - $9,999
  • Centennial Society - $2,022 - $4,999
  • Pacesetters Society - $1,000 - $2,021

All gifts received within the University’s fiscal year (July 1 – June 30), including matching gifts from a donor’s employer, count towards President’s Circle.

Your leadership support truly makes a difference, and we want you to know how much we appreciate your investment in the University. If you ever have any questions about your giving or Redlands as an organization, please consider our team as a resource for you as a valued President’s Circle donor. Also, if you are planning a visit to campus, please let us know if there is any way that we can assist you.

You are also eligible for membership if:
