Donor Recognition

Established in 1972, the Simpson College Presidents’ Society celebrates those whose leadership – past, present, and future – propels Simpson forward. This distinguished circle recognizes alumni and friends who make annual gifts of $1,000 or more to the Simpson Fund, demonstrating their belief in the College’s mission and dedication to seeing it carried out. Presidents’ Society members play a vital role in sustaining Simpson’s excellence, ensuring transformative, innovative learning experiences for today’s students and for generations to come. With each giving level, members gain greater access to the College through exclusive opportunities to connect, engage, and help shape Simpson’s bright future. Visit the Presidents’ Society Page to learn more and to view a list of current members. 

In addition to the Presidents’ Society, Simpson celebrates other exclusive giving clubs that recognize donors who meet specific criteria each fiscal year—including recent alumni, recurring donors, and faculty and staff who generously support the College with financial gifts. Explore the Giving Clubs page to see where your impact can grow, or reach out to the Office of College Advancement to learn how you can become a part of one of these meaningful communities. 

Planned gifts play a powerful role in shaping Simpson’s future. By including Simpson College in their estate plans, donors help ensure that future generations of students benefit from the same transformative education and meaningful experiences they value. These thoughtful contributions – whether through a bequest, trust, retirement account, or other planned gift –leave a lasting legacy and help sustain Simpson’s mission for years to come. To learn more about how you can make a lasting impact through planned giving and to see a list of current Matthew Simpson Society members, we invite you to visit the Matthew Simpson Society page or connect with a member of our College Advancement team. 

 Endowed gifts play a powerful role in shaping Simpson’s future. By creating a permanent source of funding for scholarships, academic programs, faculty support, and more, donors who establish endowed funds ensure their values and vision live on through generations of Simpson students. Endowed gifts reflect a deep commitment to sustaining the excellence and impact of a Simpson education – now and always.
