Annual Giving Societies

Trustees' Academy

Ohio University's most prestigious gift society is the Trustees' Academy, established to honor those who make annual gifts of $2,500 or more, and those with lifetime contributions of $100,000 or more. Academy members have distinguished themselves with their high-level support to Ohio University.

Cutler Chimes Society

---

3+ years consecutive years of giving

The Cutler Chimes Society honors our most loyal donors – those who offer Annual Fund support to Ohio University every year. Members of the Cutler Chimes Society are like clockwork – literally. Dependable, dedicated, consistent and faithful. Like the daily chimes that resonate across the greens playing Alma Mater Ohio from the Cutler Hall Cupola, members of the Cutler Chimes Society support and uphold the values that Ohio University holds dear.

As the chimes guide the Ohio University experience, so do the loyal donors of this Society. It is fitting that the Cutler Hall Cupola is the symbolic reminder of the continued generosity of Ohio’s most consistent annual donors.

Membership is granted to donors who have made gifts, at any level, consecutively for three or more years, up to and including the current fiscal year, which runs from July 1-June 30. In order to continue membership in the society, donors renew their gifts to the University each year.

 

Members of the Cutler Chimes Society have the unique satisfaction of knowing that their consistent support provides the margin of excellence for Ohio University’s students.

Cutler Chimes Society members receive special mailings, invitations to Ohio University events, and a Cutler Chimes Society decal for each year membership is renewed.
