The Department
of Sociology faces the challenge of maintaining excellence
and a position of leadership in education, research, and service.
In order to meet that challenge, we depend upon the contributions
and commitment of alumni and friends of the Department.
The University
of Washington receives less than one third of its
funding from the State of Washington. That is why private
support is critical to our success. Please help us help students,
advance research and shape the future. There are many opportunities
for giving that can launch a promising career, support research
on critical issues, and reward excellence in teaching and
research.

University
Recognition Levels
The UW Foundation proudly recognizes contributors and volunteers at the following levels:
You
may designate your annual gift of $500 or more to the Department
of Sociology and become a member of the Dean's Club. Individuals
who contribute $500 or more annually to any program-or any
combination of programs-in the College are honored through
the Arts and Sciences Dean's Club. Last year, 920 alumni and
friends joined the Dean's Club. Their gifts provided valuable
support for the work of the College's faculty, staff, and
students, which had an impact on the educational, cultural,
and business environment in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
The
benefits of Dean's Club membership include invitations to
exclusive Dean's Club events throughout the year, a listing
in the annual roster of donors, and invitations to programs
and special events hosted by departments and programs. These
events provide opportunities for donors to meet the Dean,
faculty and students from the College, as well as guest speakers
and visiting artists. Make your gift now!
Contact
us for more information about the Dean's Club.
You
may designate your gift of $2,000 or more to the Department
of Sociology and become a member of the President's Club.
Individuals who
contribute $2,000 or more annually to the University of Washington
are honored through The President's Club. This recognition
is given to individuals for gifts to one program or any combination
of programs at the University. President's Club donors receive
invitations to special events such as the Passport to Campus
series each year, and are listed annually in the University's
Report to Contributors.
Individuals with
lifetime giving totaling $100,000 or more are given special
recognition as University of Washington Benefactors. This
recognition, which continues for the donor's lifetime, may
honor gifts made in a single year or cumulative giving to
one or more UW programs within ten years. (For deferred gifts,
such as gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts, the
recognition is based on the remainder value of the gift.)
Benefactors receive invitations to special events, including
a Benefactor reception with President Emmert and other University
administrators, and have their names listed annually in the
University's Report to Contributors.
Individuals and
organizations whose cumulative gifts total $1,000,000 or more
are recognized as Laureates and receive the additional recognition
of having their names listed on a donor wall in Suzzallo Library.
In addition to recognizing
individuals for gifts made during their lifetimes, the University
honors individuals who provide for a future gift through membership
in the Henry Suzzallo Society. Donors who include
a bequest to the Department of Sociology in
their will or trust, or name the College as beneficiary of
a life insurance policy or retirement plan, are invited to
join the Suzzallo Society, named for the University's
sixteenth president. Click here for more information about
the Suzzallo
Society.
