The Annual Fund is the key means through which we raise unrestricted funds each year to support and enhance our day-to-day work of the Weidenbaum Center. All unrestricted gifts to the university of $1,000 or more qualify the donor for membership in the William Greenleaf Eliot Society. Eliot Society members are leaders in supporting the Annual Fund, which provides the university's critical margin of excellence in its mission of teaching, research, and service to community and society. Your annual Eliot Society contribution, when combined with those of other members from across the nation and around the world, is the largest source of unrestricted funds for the university. Eliot Society funds are used for scholarships, student assistance programs, educational resources, faculty development and recruitment, and facility improvements.
