Charles William Eliot Society

The Charles William Eliot Society recognizes supporters who make lead gifts to the HGSE Fund. Each year, members are invited to special events, are listed in the Annual Report, and receive a new book authored by an HGSE scholar. Periodic updates keep members abreast of issues of importance at the School.

As leaders for learning, Eliot Society members support the future of education and research at HGSE by giving at one of the following levels:

President's Circle ($25,000 and up)

Honors the commitment to education of Harvard presidents like Charles William Eliot.

Dean's Circle ($10,000 to $24,999)

Pays tribute to the leadership of HGSE deans who have strengthened the School throughout its history.

Appian Associates ($5,000 to $9,999)

Commemorates the street on which the School's academic life is centered.

Longfellow Associates ($2,500 to $4,999)

Takes its name from the building anchoring the School's campus on Appian Way.

1920 Club ($1,000 to $2,499)
