Giving
Societies
Become a member and join the icons of WCU philanthropy
Your gift is invaluable to driving WCU’s mission forward. You can accomplish even more as a member of a WCU Foundation giving society — for the University, and for other donors.
That’s because a giving society is a unique space where you can share experiences and ideas with like-minded philanthropists. And with exclusive member events and recognition, giving societies shine a light on dedicated donors like you, inspiring even more support from the greater WCU community

President’s Circle
As a member of the President’s Circle, you can cement the future of West Chester University and its students with lifetime, consecutive, or annual giving that sets you apart as a leader in philanthropic vision.
When you make your lasting gift commitment, you’ll join the ranks of decades of our most generous donors and community partners — all while unlocking access to the President’s Circle Dinner, ceremonial recognition, and membership in even more prestigious society memberships.
George Morris Philips Society
When you make a lasting gift to support WCU, you can join more than 400 alumni, faculty, and other benefactors as a member of the prestigious George Morris Philips Society.
Attend exclusive Society and annual events. Be recognized on-campus and at the WCU Alumni & Foundation Center. And build a legacy that will drive student success for years to come.
