Patrick Ryan, EB’59, addresses Leadership Circle members in Chicago.

The Northwestern University Leadership Circle is the new University-wide giving society, created to thank individuals who make annual, outright, cumulative contributions of $1,000 and above to Northwestern.

Donors who make annual gifts to Northwestern at the leadership level shape the everyday opportunities for all students and faculty members. Leadership gifts enable Northwestern to meet current needs for student scholarships, faculty recruitment, new academic initiatives, and improvements to campus living and learning environments.

The purpose of the Northwestern University Leadership Circle is to strengthen the relationship between the University and donors. Members of the Leadership Circle will receive enhanced recognition, including special communications about the daily impact of leadership giving and invitations to exclusive events.

Members of the Northwestern University Leadership Circle may also be recognized through the giving society of a specific school or division of the University, depending on how a gift is designated.
