Founders' THE

A N N UA L GI V I N G SO C I ET Y

Membership Information The legacy of Mary Frances Clarke and the founding Sisters is alive at Clarke through the vibrancy of our campus community and longstanding traditions.

The Founders’ Society is an extension of Clarke’s BVM heritage and membership is reserved for alumni, parents and friends contributing $1,000 or more to Clarke annually. Your annual leadership gift allows students to have a well-rounded experience both inside and outside of the classroom by supporting premier academic programs and enrichment activities.

For each year of membership, you will receive a custom medallion commemorating people, places and events from Clarke’s historic past and present. In addition, Founders’ Society members receive exclusive updates and invitations.

For more information please visit clarke.edu/founderssociety.

The Founders’ Society medallion program was underwritten thanks to the generosity of the Clarke University Board of Trustees.
