Honoring Your Philanthropy
Mary Baldwin University Donor Recognition Societies
Mary Baldwin’s unique donor recognition societies celebrate the impact that sustained giving has on the university. Your philanthropy supports and empowers our students, enhances academic excellence and attracts and retains exceptional faculty as we prepare the next generation of compassionate changemakers. Whether you give every year, demonstrate a lifetime of generosity, or include the university in your charitable estate or financial plans, Mary Baldwin University honors and recognizes your commitment.
LIFETIME GIVING SOCIETIES
Membership in the Lifetime Giving Societies is Mary Baldwin University’s most prestigious donor recognition honoring the leadership and extraordinary support of alumni, friends, faculty and staff. Individuals are inducted into one of five societies named in honor of milestone years throughout Mary Baldwin’s history. Individuals become members based on their outright, cumulative giving over time to the university. Cumulative giving is calculated based on gifts received through the fiscal year ending June 30.

The Kiracofe Society was named in honor of faithful alumna Charlene Kiracofe ‘25. On a teacher’s salary, Charlene made annual gifts throughout her lifetime and committed to remembering Mary Baldwin in her will. When she died in 1987, Mary Baldwin received a substantial gift, just as she planned. In that same year, The Kiracofe Society was established to recognize those who honor Mary Baldwin through a provision in their estate plan.
