Giving Societies

Rutgers is fortunate to be supported by many loyal donors whose gifts make a meaningful difference in the lives of students, faculty, and staff and in the communities they serve. Giving societies were formed to demonstrate Rutgers’ sincere appreciation to donors who commit to Rutgers and help the university improve lives everywhere.

Colonel Henry Rutgers Society

colonel henry rutgers society logoThe Colonel Henry Rutgers Society recognizes those thoughtful graduates and friends who make an estate gift or other form of deferred gift that Rutgers will receive in the future. Members join a long tradition of supporters whose commitment, like Colonel Henry’s, demonstrates a faith in the future through a planned gift that lasts beyond a lifetime.

R Fund Scarlet Society

Membership in the Scarlet Society recognizes a donor’s passion, loyalty, and generosity with opportunities for exclusive access.

Rutgers Loyalty Society

When members of the Rutgers community come together each year to show their support, the long-term effects are astounding.   Loyalty Society membership is based on participation, not amount, because every gift has a positive impact on programs across the university.

President’s Council

Through their contributions, the members of the President’s Council play a vital role in supporting the university and raising Rutgers’ profile among the finest public research universities.
