Donor Recognition
We express our gratitude to Stetson donors through various giving societies. Stetson honors those alumni and friends who invest consistently and also celebrates donors who have made significant gifts that make a long-lasting impact on students, faculty, staff and the Stetson community.
Fountain Loyalty Society
A recognition society that celebrates donors who have generously given a gift in any dollar amount to Stetson University for at least three consecutive fiscal years (July 1–June 30). Stetson is grateful to these donors for their ongoing support and dedication to the university, its students and our core values. Special recognition and tokens of appreciation will be given to donors at milestone years.
1883 Society
This recognition society celebrates donors who generously donate $1,000 or more within a fiscal year (July 1–June 30). The 1883 Society honors donors who show an increased level of commitment to our students and Stetson’s core values: personal growth, intellectual development, global citizenship, and personal and social responsibility. Society members receive invitations to campus events, donor impact updates and an invitation to an exclusive 1883 Society event.
