Exemplary Leadership: Premier Giving Societies

The Leadership Circle, Statesman’s Circle, and President’s Circle are The Washington Institute's premier giving societies. Through donations of $25,000 or more members of these societies provide crucial support for some of the Institute's most important, effective initiatives. In recognition of their leadership, these donors are afforded unique opportunities to access our work, receiving invitations to intimate regional events, private dinners, and special visits to key policy venues in Washington. Naming opportunities are available for multiyear gifts at this level.
