Loyalty Society
Loyal donors are the cornerstone of Georgetown’s success, providing the means by which Georgetown can carry out its mission of educating women and men in service to others.
In recognition of this important commitment, the Loyalty Society honors alumni giving to Georgetown with various degrees of loyalty—from our Charter members, who are just beginning their lifelong commitment to annual giving, to our Lifetime supporters, who have given to the university for 20 or more years.
Gifts of any amount to all areas of the university are counted towards Loyalty Society membership. Consecutive years of giving are counted by fiscal year, which runs from July 1 to June 30.
Membership Benefits
Benefits vary as alumni reach new and important levels in their commitment to Georgetown.
Georgetown University Loyalty Society members receive special benefits including membership packages, early access and recognition at Georgetown events, as well as other benefits listed below.
