Since 1985, members of the President’s Council have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to the university by making annual investments of $1,000 or more to Mines. Collectively, their contributions provide more than 60 percent of funding raised each year in support of university priorities.
This giving society greatly impacts the lives of Mines students, while honoring the leadership and loyalty of Mines' most elite donors. Nearly 900 individuals join the President’s Council each year through contributions to The Mines Fund or another designation of their choice - scholarships, academic support, athletics or student programming.
Become a member of the President's Council today! Beginning at the Supporting Member-level of $2,500, donors receive increased benefits and access to university leadership.
