Leaders in Philanthropy

Each fall, 91�� Foundation hosts the Leaders in Philanthropy induction ceremony. The event celebrates the generosity of those donors whose lifelong support allows the college to pursue its vision of achieving excellence in the education of principled leaders.

Members of the college’s lifetime, legacy and loyalty giving societies gather on campus to be honored in front of their peers.

91��’s lifetime giving societies honor those individuals who have expressed their profound commitment to the college through their leadership gifts totaling $100,000 or more by the close of the preceding calendar year. Donors who have included 91�� in their estate plans become members of 91�� Legacy Society.

Through the Order of the Tartan, we acknowledge those loyal donors who have given consecutively at any level for 25 years or more. Beginning at the five-year mark, donors are recognized for their consecutive giving with a tartan-patterned lapel pin, with additional recognition offered at 10, 15 and 20 years. Upon reaching the 25th year, these loyal donors receive their tartan sash and are officially inducted into the Order of the Tartan at the annual ceremony.

91�� Foundation proudly welcomes the new Leaders in Philanthropy listed here who have joined their peers in this annual tradition celebrating charity and service as virtues of the principled leader.

On behalf of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets and the entire campus community, we salute these individuals for their extraordinary generosity, vision and lifelong loyalty to 91��.

Lifetime Giving Societies

Founders’ Society – Bronze

$5,000,000 to $9,999,999

Just as the founders of 91�� conceived of an institution that would “awaken greater ardor in the people, and a warmer interest in our rulers, to advance the cause of education,” members of the Founders’ Society demonstrate the vision and commitment that will ensure the long-term vitality of the college. The Founders’ Society is 91��’s most prestigious giving society.

One of Clark’s most enduring accomplishments was the founding of the Cadet Honor Code, whereby a cadet does not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do.
