The William Mahood Society recognizes the LIFETIME contributions of individuals, couples and
organizations. These contributions may come as direct donations, pledges, or a combination of both.
We admit members into four circles:
- President’s Circle $1,000,000 or more.
- Distinguished Benefactor $500,000 or more.
- Senior Benefactor $250,000 or more.
- Benefactor $100,000 or more.
The College president and other staff work closely with Society members to ensure gifts are targeted
and accountable. As these gifts are often associated with major capital campaigns, donors are
consulted in detail about the purpose and direction of their gifts.
