It is the first time since the founding of the President’s Circle in 1984 that the levels will change. Current giving levels will remain in place through June 30 of next year.

Membership in the entry level of the President’s Circle will increase on July 1, 2013, from $250 to $1,000.

See the chart at right for the new gift club levels and their names.

Also changing are the recognition levels for gifts from $250 to $999. Gifts from $250 to $499 will provide admission to the Green Club, and gifts of $500 to $999 will designate members of the Gold Club.

“Our President’s Circle donors are the leadership supporters of the institution,” said President Deborah F. Stanley. “Their generous gifts truly make a difference every day for our students.

“Alumni participation in giving is key to the college’s success. Not only do your gifts make a powerful impact on our students’ lives, but your participation helps keep Oswego strong in the college rankings,” she added.

Donors may make their gifts to be used in areas of greatest need or priority, or designate their gifts to support scholarships, one of the college’s four schools, an academic department, or a specific organization or program.
