Giving Clubs
Celebrating Every Kind of Impact
At Simpson, we know that meaningful support comes in many forms. Our Giving Clubs recognize donors whose generosity – no matter the amount – reflects loyalty, commitment, and deep engagement with the College. These clubs honor the many ways our community shows up for Simpson, supporting the people, programs, and possibilities that set Simpson apart.
GOLD Club
Giving Back, Moving Simpson Forward
The GOLD (Graduates of the Last Decade) Club honors young alumni who invest in Simpson College within the first ten years after graduation. By giving early in their careers while balancing new jobs, families, and all the milestones that come with them, GOLD Club members show a powerful commitment to the Simpson experience and help ensure future students benefit from the same transformative opportunities they received.
Membership in the GOLD Club comes with unique perks and continued connection to campus life, including Storm Watch emails, special communications, and access to reserved Homecoming tailgate spots (limited availability). Most of all, it comes with the pride of making a meaningful difference to a community that holds a special place in their lives and hearts.
Gifts of any amount qualify graduates for GOLD Club membership and help strengthen Simpson’s national reputation through alumni participation—an important benchmark in college rankings. Consistent support matters: GOLD Club members who give every year for their first ten years after graduation receive a complimentary one-year membership in the Presidents’ Society during their eleventh year.
Every gift matters. Every voice counts. And every GOLD Club member is helping write Simpson’s next chapter.
Simpson GEMs Club
Giving monthly, making a difference daily
The Simpson GEMs Club recognizes donors who Give Every Month to The Simpson Fund, people who choose to support students in a steady, meaningful way all year long. Monthly giving is simple, flexible, and powerful: by setting up an automatic gift of any amount, GEMs provide steady support that strengthens Simpson’s mission year-round. Many choose to give monthly because it allows them to align their philanthropy with their budget—transforming manageable monthly contributions into significant annual support. Most importantly, it keeps them connected to the College they care about, month after month.
Here’s what monthly giving can look like:
- $5/month = $60/year
- $10/month = $120/year
- $25/month = $300/year
- $41.67/month = $500/year
- $83.34/month = $1,000/year (qualifies for Presidents’ Society Red & Gold Circle membership)
As a GEM, you’ll receive occasional updates about how your gift is making a difference, special recognition, and other opportunities to engage more deeply with Simpson throughout the year. Best of all, you’ll enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you’re part of something bigger as you help keep Simpson moving forward, one month at a time!
Faculty and Staff Giving Club
Fueling the mission we live every day
Every day, Simpson’s faculty and staff shape the Simpson experience through their time, talent, care, and expertise. That dedication is the heart of what makes Simpson so special. Some members of our campus community also choose to support Simpson through personal gifts to The Simpson Fund, an added expression of their commitment to the College’s mission. These contributions, of any amount, help sustain the learning, mentorship, and opportunities that define the Simpson experience. Participation is entirely optional and always appreciated. Gifts can be made as a one-time annual contribution or through payroll deduction – whatever feels right for you.
Simpson thrives because of the people who believe in it. However you give – through your role on campus, your dedication, your care, a personal gift – your commitment helps propel us forward together.
