Leadership, Loyalty and Lifelong Support
Thousands of Dickinsonians support the college each year. We gratefully recognize their contributions and thank our donors for their gifts.
The fourth-annual Day of Giving on April 24 made a big splash, exceeding its historic goal of 3,500 gifts in 24 hours and raising almost $1 million! This year, membership in the John Dickinson Society, which recognizes our leadership donors, rose to new heights, welcoming 308 new members and providing more than $12.6 million in gifts to Dickinson. Members of the Old West Society have made a tremendous commitment by providing for future support to the college through their estate or life income plans. The more than 450 members of the Old West Society will ensure Dickinson’s continued strength and standing in the years ahead. 6,478 The Mermaid Society,
