Giving

Founders Circle

The Founders Circle honors extraordinary leadership, loyalty, and generosity and recognizes donors’ cumulative support.

Gifts totaling $100,000 or more entitle individual donors to be honored, while organizations are honored for support of $250,000 or more. Additional levels celebrate even greater support.

Founders Circle donors are honored through four categories of tribute. These levels reflect the rich history of the University of Massachusetts Boston, founded in 1964, and that of Boston State College, which became part of the university in 1982 and, through several predecessor institutions, traces its origins to 1851.

The Founders Circle Wall graces the Campus Center's second level. To learn more about this tribute society, contact Gina Cappello at 617.287.5335.
