Named for the year in which The College of Idaho was founded, the 1891 Society provides a link to the generosity and vision of the College’s founders. 1891 Society members make annual gifts of $1,891 or more to the College. This year’s list of 1891 Society members is below and includes over 275 generous alumni and friends.
Many members make monthly gifts of $160 or more to reach or exceed $1,891 during the fiscal year. Gifts may be unrestricted or may be restricted to specific scholarships, chairs or programs. Gifts at this level often result in significant tax benefits for the donor.
Most importantly, gifts from 1891 Society members allow us to address the highest of all needs at the College and help create opportunities for students and faculty to have a direct and dramatic impact on campus, in the community and throughout the world.
Members of the 1891 Society receive the following benefits:
- An invitation to the annual 1891 Society reception at the President’s Home – usually during Homecoming;
- Special communications from the President throughout the year;
- Invitations to campus and regional lectures, concerts and other events;
- Special occasions for involvement with the President and other campus leaders;
- Personalized certificate recognizing 1891 Society membership.
