1851 Society

When you give at a leadership level ($1,000 or more per year) to one of the following key areas, you will automatically be considered a member of the 1851 Society:

• The Northwestern Annual Fund: Your gift allows the University to support emerging and ongoing areas of need.
• University Scholarships: Your gift allows the University to continue to expand the financial support offered to Northwestern students.

Your gift to these areas has an immediate impact, because you empower the University to respond quickly to opportunities as they arise and meet critical needs across Northwestern.

As a member of the 1851 Society, you also qualify for membership in the Northwestern University Leadership Circle (NULC), a community of dedicated philanthropists who play a critical role in advancing Northwestern. NULC members receive exclusive invitations to events and special communications that highlight the impact of their giving at the University.Learn more about NULC benefits.
