Join the Spire Society
The Spire Society is a network of University leaders who invest in our students, our people, and our mission.
Membership in the Spire Society is granted to those donors who give $1,000 or more annually to the University’s Fisher Fund, committing to that minimum level of giving for three years. They can designate their support to the area of greatest need, one of ten central areas of the University, or any combination of these, setting an example of generosity for others to follow. Collectively, Spire Society members invest in and enhance the Fisher experience, making it available to all who wish to learn and grow here.
The Impact of the Fisher Fund
Spire Society gifts are used by the University’s leadership to respond to the needs and opportunities that arise annually. Your generosity directly supports scholarships, experiential learning opportunities, support for faculty and student research collaboration, acquisition of library collections, creation of new academic programs, investment in technology, facility improvements, athletic team travel and equipment, student leadership training, and more.
The Fisher Fund enables the president, provost, vice presidents, and deans to champion new initiatives, innovative ideas, and strategic opportunities.
