The Blank School engages Babson community members and leads research to create entrepreneurial leaders.
Giving | Giving Societies
Babson's giving societies are meant to honor our most loyal donors and bring together like-minded members of the Babson community. Throughout the year, members of each giving society receive exclusive communications from Babson leadership, special invitations to in-person events, tailored networking opportunities, and recognition around campus.
Babson Defenders
Our monthly and annual donors ensure that the College has a consistent and reliable income stream that allows us to adapt to the ever-changing needs of our community. It means that every student can continue to learn, safely and uninterrupted, and that Babson will not only survive, but thrive.
BOLD President's Society
The BOLD President's Society strives to build the next generation of alumni leaders. Young alumni are invited to join the President’s Society at an introductory gift level (classes 2011–2020) according to the number of years since graduation.
President's Society
The dedicated members of the President’s Society provide flexible, annual funding to the College. Several times per year, Babson offers regular communications for President's Society members, as well as events and networking opportunities to foster community among this group of leadership donors.
Cornerstone Club
The Cornerstone Club comprises thousands of Babson alumni, parents, and friends who have made a gift to Babson in five or more consecutive years. This loyal support from the College’s most steadfast donors allows Babson to remain an elite, global business college that is shaping the entrepreneurial leaders of tomorrow.
Legacy Society
By establishing a life-income gift arrangement or by including Babson in their estate plans, Babson Legacy Society members are building a lasting legacy at Babson that will ensure excellence in entrepreneurship education for future generations of Babson students.
Founders Fund
Founders Fund donors contribute a percentage of their future equity position in their business to the College. At the time of the company’s sale, initial public offering, or other liquidity event, the contribution is transferred to Babson. Depending on the size of the contribution, it may be applied to a range of current use or endowed funds at Babson.
Circle of Distinction
Launched during Babson's Centennial, the Circle of Distinction is Babson's newest and most prestigious giving society. It recognizes donors who have committed $1 million or more to the College during their lifetimes. The first cohort of 80 members was inducted in May 2019.
