Drew gratefully recognizes the loyalty and commitment of alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends of the University through the following donor recognition societies.
On average, more than 40% of donors to Drew University are members of at least one donor recognition society—some donors are part of all three!
ACORN SOCIETY
The Acorn Society, previously known as the New Founders Society, recognizes alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends of the University who have provided for Drew through a bequest or life income gift or who have named Drew as beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement account. Similar to an acorn’s ability to seed a mighty oak, these thoughtful planned gifts guide and enhance Drew’s financial development and allow the University to plan with confidence for the future.
