Honored Philanthropist
The IEEE Heritage Circle, the cumulative giving donor recognition program of the IEEE Foundation, acknowledges the philanthropic spirit of those who have given back to IEEE throughout their career and lifetime. These Honored Philanthropists are recognized for their ongoing and generous support of IEEE programs.
How to Become a Member
Honored Philanthropists are those whose donations and/or pledges to IEEE Foundation total US$10,000 or more since 1 January 1995. Automatically recognized as members of the IEEE Heritage Circle, donors are categorized within twelve giving levels ranging from US$10,000 to more than US$5M.
Contact the IEEE Foundation Development Office at donate@ieee.org with questions or to arrange a confidential donor-giving discussion.
Your Membership Benefits
IEEE Heritage Circle recognition is based on individual donor-giving levels. Members at all levels will receive a special recognition item and recognition in the IEEE Foundation Annual Report and other appropriate IEEE Foundation publications.
Members of the IEEE Heritage Circle, who are referred to as “Honored Philanthropists,” have donated and/or pledged to the IEEE Foundation a total of $10,000 or more since January 1, 1995. These donors are automatically recognized as members of the IEEE Heritage Circle and are categorized into twelve giving levels, ranging from $10,000 to over $5 million.
Any qualifying gifts made before the end of the calendar year will be added to the current cumulative giving totals. Recognition levels are calculated at the end of each calendar year. Once a donor reaches a specific IEEE Heritage Circle giving level, an IEEE Foundation staff member will reach out to arrange the presentation of this special recognition. If anonymity is desired, it will be respected.
If you have any questions or would like to arrange a confidential discussion about donor giving, please contact the IEEE Foundation Development Office.
