Founders Society is an annual recognition society reserved for some of CHOP's most generous donors—those who have given $1,000 or more in a fiscal year, from July 1 to June 30. The philanthropic backbone of the Hospital, Founders Society offers various benefits to donors at different giving levels. All members are listed on the interactive donor wall at the Hospital's Main Campus and in our annual philanthropy report, receive special communications from the CEO, receive a yearly subscription to Children's View magazine, and are invited to a Founders Society Reception each spring honoring the life-changing work that member support makes possible. Donors who give $10,000 or more are welcomed into the Children's Circle of Care, and naming opportunities are available for contributions of $25,000 or more.
