FRANK ALVAH PARSONS SOCIETY Members of the Frank Alvah Parsons Society demonstrate their commitment to Parsons The New School for Design by making gifts of $1,000 or more to the Annual Fund. Members of this prestigious group receive benefits all year round and recognition in re:D. More important, they make a difference in the lives of tomorrow’s design leaders. Annual Fund gifts to Parsons provide unrestricted funds that are allocated wherever the need is greatest. These gifts are key to Parsons’ ability to meet priorities such as scholarships, faculty recruitment and retention, and facilities improvement.
