Giving Societies

The CCC Foundation recognizes donors’ generosity in many ways—including through their membership in giving societies. Below are the different societies to which donors (individuals, businesses and other groups) can belong.
Recognition in our cumulative giving levels is calculated by lifetime giving and includes major gifts to Cleveland Community College, The CCC Foundation, and Yeti Athletics. Donors with open pledge balances and documented planned gifts do not qualify for a cumulative giving level until their gift is received.
Legacy Society – $1,000,000 +
Visionary Society – $500,000 – $999,999
Heritage Society – $250,000 – $499,999
Cornerstone Society – $100,000 – $249,999
Founders’ Society – $50,000 – $99,999
President’s Society – $25,000 – $49,999
1965 Society – $10,000 – $24,999
Annual Giving Society
All donors who give to the Foundation during a fiscal year will be listed under the annual giving society. If a donor gives $10,000 or more or reaches this amount in the fiscal year, they will be listed in the annual giving section as well as the appropriate cumulative society.
