The Littauer Society

We are pleased to invite you to join the Littauer Society – a prestigious circle of alumni and friends, whose leadership support and enthusiastic commitment to the Kennedy School sets an example and inspires others. While we value each and every gift to the Kennedy School, we also believe that there are donors whose participation merits additional recognition – those who step forward as philanthropic leaders among their peers.

The essence of the Kennedy School has always been an abiding commitment to advancing the public interest with the influence of powerful ideas and the training of talented leaders. A Littauer Society gift provides the Kennedy School with the necessary resources to achieve these goals and move decisively toward greater excellence.


The Littauer Society
Our Philanthropic Leaders Each Year

In gratitude for their support, the Kennedy School extends special privileges to Littauer Society members.

The Sustainers Circle
Our Most Committed Donors

In addition to the Littauer Society, we wanted to create a way to acknowledge our most committed donors who contribute year after year.

The Sustainers Circle recognizes donors who contribute (at all giving levels) in five or more consecutive fiscal years. The Kenendy School has come to rely on these most loyal donors.

Sustainers Circle members will receive special recognition in our annual donor listing in the Kennedy School Bulletin.
