Giving Societies and Circles

Giving Societies and Annual Giving Circles recognize the individuals, families, alumni, and friends whose generosity makes a lasting difference at Thomas University. These dedicated supporters play an important role in advancing the University’s mission, strengthening the student experience, and creating opportunities for future generations.

Membership in a Giving Society or Circle is more than a recognition of financial support; it is a reflection of a shared belief in the transformative power of education and the impact of investing in students and their futures. We are deeply grateful for those who choose to invest in the future of Thomas University. Your commitment makes a difference today and helps shape what is possible tomorrow.

Giving Circle donors are acknowledged each year in the University’s Annual Report. Forbes Society members are invited to the annual Forbes Dinner each Spring.
