leadership giving societies
Leadership gifts from alumni, parents of current students, parents of alumni, grandparents, local businesses and vendors, faculty, staff, friends, foundations, and other organizations are greatly appreciated. These gifts make up a significant portion of the total gifts given each year to the Annual Fund. The impact of these gifts deserve special merit and recognition. The college has created special gift societies for that purpose. These include:
The President's Society
The President's Society recognizes individuals and organizations who invest $10,000 or more.
The H. Leslie Sawyer Society

The Susan Colby Society
Susan Colby, teacher and first principal of Colby Academy, also was one of the college's most significant benefactors. She is the inspiration for this giving society which honors donors who give $1,000 to $2,499.
The Eugene M. Austin Society
