Donors who give at certain levels are recognized through special
programs. To find out more about our donor recognition programs,

President’s Associates
President’s Associates are annual donors whose gifts
during a 12-month period reach $2500 or more. During each
year of giving at this level, President’s Associates
are invited to functions hosted by the UO President, receive
additional communication about the UO, and are included in
the Honor Roll of Donors.
Founders Societies
The Founders Societies program recognizes donors whose cumulative
giving has reached $50,000 or more. Members of the Founders
Societies are invited to functions hosted by the UO President,
receive additional communication about the UO, are included
in the Honor Roll of Donors, and receive special recognition.
The Founders Societies are named for the university’s
founders and early benefactors:
Matthew P. Deady (cumulative gifts of $50,000-99,999),
president of the state board of regents from 1873-1893 who advocated
for the founding of a state university.
Irene Gerlinger (cumulative gifts of $100,000-249,999),
the only female member of the board of regents and a pioneering
fundraiser.

a wealthy railroad magnate who was the university’s first
benefactor
John Wesley Johnson (cumulative gifts of $500,000-999,999),
the university’s first president.
Prince Lucien Campbell (cumulative gifts of $1 million+), president
from 1902-1925 who transformed the university from a relatively
provincial institution into a modern university.
Arnold Bennett Hall Society
The Arnold Bennett Hall Society recognizes donors who have
made gifts to the university through a planned giving vehicle,
such as a trust or estate. Mr. Hall, the university’s
fifth president, advocated for growing the university’s
endowment through planned gifts.
