Giving Societies
Cheers to loyalty and leadership.
We give special thanks to donors who make it a habit to include The Penn Fund in their annual philanthropic giving. Members of the Benjamin Franklin Society and Ivy Stone Society form a strong and steady foundation for our mission to support accessibility to academics and extracurriculars throughout campus life. Loyal and dedicated donors are an inspiration to fellow classmates and will be acknowledged in many ways throughout the fiscal year.
Benjamin Franklin Society
Founded in 1955, the Benjamin Franklin Society (BFS) recognizes leadership donors who make gifts and pledge payments of $2,500 or more to annual giving funds across the University in a given fiscal year (July 1–June 30). Gifts that count toward The Penn Fund at the Benjamin Franklin Society leadership level make an incredible impact by supporting current undergraduate students inside and outside of the classroom.

Ivy Stone Society
Founded in 2007, the Ivy Stone Society is a giving group that recognizes Penn undergraduate alumni who make consecutive gifts of any amount to The Penn Fund for three or more years. Just as every graduating class counts on placing their Ivy Stone on campus as part of the Ivy Day tradition, The Penn Fund can count on members of the Ivy Stone Society to demonstrate their commitment to the University every fiscal year (July 1–June 30).
