• Donors are appropriately acknowledged for their thoughtfulness and generosity • Public acknowledgement can serve as an important example of philanthropic leadership to others who may be contemplating a gift Depending on the type and size of gift, recognition may be given in a variety of ways, including: • Foundation membership • Recognition on the Foundation website • The naming of a scholarship • Recognition in, and receipt of, the bi-annual Foundation Update
through the personal growth of the students. Donors who support other activities and programs, such as research areas, are provided opportunities to meet with faculty staff and researchers, tour facilities and be briefed on research and teaching developments. Significant donors may also be invited to join the Vice-Chancellor’s Circle, which is a small group of highly engaged individuals who provide advocacy through their generosity to the University. Members of the Vice-Chancellor’s Circle are provided with opportunities to meet with the Vice-Chancellor to discuss their areas of interest and receive invitations to events. The UTAS Foundation respects the wishes of donors. All donor details are confidential and gifts can be made in confidence with anonymity assured.
