Longwood's slate of giving societies were created to recognize the longevity, selflessness, and impact of her supporters. Each of the societies is a celebration of a specific kind of giving—annual, recurring, loyal, lifetime, or planned—all of which are important to the sustainability and maintenance of the University's mission: to cultivate citizen leaders.

Longwood supporters may maintain membership in one of more of the giving societies if they meet society-specific criteria.

Rotunda Society

The Rotunda Society recognizes an elite group of donors who have made significant and life-changing contributions to support the growth and sustainability of Longwood University. Their leadership in giving has supported infrastructure projects, major initiatives, countless scholarships, and program funding for our healthy and growing endowment.

Individuals recognized with the distinction of membership in the Rotunda Society are lifetime members whose cumulative gifts to the university exceed $250,000. 


1839 Society

The 1839 Society recognizes our generous donors who have made a planned gift to Longwood to be realized beyond their lifetime. Members of this society recognize the role of philanthropy in the health of an institution and want to ensure the University's future sustainability. These gifts leave a personal legacy at Longwood and enable future generations to benefit from the donor's thoughtful and selfless giving.

We celebrate the members of the 1839 Society today for the impact their future gifts will have in the decades to come.
