Centennial Society

Centennial Society Features and Benefits

The Centennial Fund was created in 2007 to provide the Club financial security during its second century and to ensure continued high-quality programs for its membership. To join the Centennial Society, Club members make a one-time, fully tax-deductible (to the full extent of the law) minimum contribution of $10,000 to the Centennial Fund. The Fund is directed by the Club’s Board of Trustees, and all expenditures from the Fund, whether from income and/or principal, must be authorized by the Board of Trustees.

In the thirteen years since its founding, the Centennial Society has grown from the original members to over 400 members. The Centennial Society furthers the Club’s mission to provide internationally diverse programs with thought leaders who foster ideas in economic development, innovation, and collaboration.

To join the Centennial Society, we are pleased to share that there are now four levels of giving that a Club member may select to support the Centennial Fund, and each is fully tax-deductible. These four include Centennial Society Supporter, President's Club, Chair's Circle and Laureate Leaders. For more information, please click here.
