Donors

Donors at the $1,000 level and above become members of The President’s Club, the college’s most prestigious giving society. Members enjoy exclusive invitations to Columbia events; opportunities to engage with our outstanding students, faculty, and alumni; and early notice of the hundreds of exciting performances, exhibitions, and events presented each year at the college. In 2005, The President’s Club contributed $100,000 toward scholarships benefiting the next generation of cultural producers.
