The President’s Club is Butler’s premier annual giving society that celebrates leadership donors who are committed to providing student scholarships, financial aid, and hands-on experiential learning opportunities that are essential to advancing Butler’s academic mission. Membership is based on cumulative annual gifts of $2,500 or more made during a single-year period. Eligible gifts must be directed toward academic, scholarship, or student-life initiatives.
With the exception of athletic scholarship support, athletic donations are recognized through the Bulldog Club, and not counted in the cumulative total for membership in the President’s Club.
