Annual Giving

The following recognition clubs are based on annual giving — gifts that are given during a single fiscal year.

The Leadership Circle

Carthage's Leadership Circle acknowledges the vision and confidence shown by individuals who give substantial annual gifts to Carthage. An annual gift of $1,000 or more automatically qualifies the giver for membership in the Leadership Circle. Such givers understand how crucial private support is to the continued vitality of the College. Giving at a higher level provides Carthage with the extra resources necessary for students, faculty and staff to create a superlative learning experience.

Lincoln Club — $25,000 and above
Lentz Club — $10,000-$24,999
Trustees' Club — $5,000-$9,999

Dean's Club — $500-999
Heritage Club — $250-499
Century Club — $100-249

"There are so many opportunities to meet new people, join clubs and broaden your ideas at Carthage. You hear about it before you come, but it doesn’t really sink in that you have so many paths to take until you're here."
