UCSD has established giving societies to recognize and thank alumni and friends who so generously support the university through major, annual, or planned gifts.

This giving society honors UCSD's most generous donors, those who have given $1 million or more, cumulatively, to the university. Formed in 2002, the Laureates meet annually for special recognition events hosted by the Chancellor.

Formed in 2003, Alumni Founders recognizes the first 50 distinguished alumni who have given $1 million or more, cumulatively, to the university.

This group has provided leadership support to The Campaign for UCSD: Imagine What's Next through commitments of $100,000 or more during the life of the campaign.

Formed in 2004, this society recognizes and thanks those alumni and friends who make a future commitment to the university through charitable annuities, life income agreements, bequest intentions, or other planned gifts on behalf of UCSD.

Chancellor's Associates is a premier group of donors who are recognized for their annual leadership gifts of $1,500 or more to be used at the Chancellor's discretion to fund the univerity's greatest needs.
