President's Circle

By becoming a member of the President's Circle - Drake's leadership-level giving society - you affect every aspect of the University and contribute directly to the experiences and success of each student.

President's Circle membership is open to any individual or corporation who gives a total of $1,000 or more to provide operational support to Drake in any given fiscal year (July 1 - June 30). Corporate matching gifts also count toward individual President's Circle membership. The society also has a board that serves as an advisor to the Office of Development. Visit the President's Circle Board page to learn more.

 

Why Members Give:

Your gift is a testament of your leadership and serves as a visible symbol of your passion for Drake. Not only do President's Circle members leave a tangible legacy through their gifts; they also make a distinct impact on the lives of each and every Drake student.

President's Circle members are invited to join Drake leaders at the annual Francis Marion Drake Society Dinner, where all leadership-level donors are recognized.
