Donor Recognition

Home / GSW Foundation / Donor Recognition

Donor Recognition

Donations are crucial to program expansion and donors have the chance to be recognized by their giving level. Top donors* are recognized in the Aeolian magazine, listed online, and updated on the Donor Wall of Honor in the Wheatley Administration Building. Each spring, a reception is held to honor and recognize our President’s Circle members ($1000 minimum per year) and donors who have given $25,000+ in their lifetime. Thank you for your continued support of GSW!

*Donor amounts are updated annually and reflect donations from the previous year.
