Note: Qualifying amounts are $500 for young alumni (within five years of attaining the first degree); $1,000 for alumni six to ten years after attaining the first degree; and $5,000 for corporations.

Recognizing those who have made cumulative commitments of $25,000 or more to George Mason during their lifetime. Boxwood Society members fund the scholarships, research, facilities, and programs that allow George Mason to break new ground for higher education in Virginia and beyond.

Honoring those who have made cumulative commitments of $100,000 or more to George Mason during their lifetime. Mason Society members have taken the lead in envisioning George Mason’s future through endowed professorships, scholarships, underwriting research of consequence, and providing critical funds for new facilities, among other initiatives.

The Commonwealth Society recognizes those who have made cumulative commitments of $1 million or more to George Mason during their lifetime. Members are builders and creators, considering the needs of today and tomorrow and how George Mason should evolve to meet those needs. This impact is felt far beyond George Mason, improving life across our region, our commonwealth, and the world.

It is a great honor and privilege to recognize individuals who have included George Mason in their long-term financial or estate plan. Planned gifts, at all giving levels, can be structured to support any school, college, or program at George Mason.
