Leadership Recognition and Giving Societies
Your generosity has a profound effect on the lives of Adelphi students.
For more than a century, Adelphi University has been strengthened by generous donors who lead with purpose through philanthropy. Their support empowers students to thrive—in their studies, careers, and communities around the world. Since 1896, this generosity has made possible life-changing scholarships, innovative academic programs, transformative student experiences, a beautiful, state-of-the-art campus, and a vibrant scholarly community.
LEAD Represents Adelphi University’s Leadership Recognition and Giving Societies
We proudly celebrate the donors whose generosity advances Adelphi University’s mission and strengthens our community. Through annual leadership gifts, lifetime philanthropy, planned giving, and sustained support, LEAD honors alumni and friends who help open doors to an education defined by academic excellence, personalized mentorship and real-world opportunity.
Because philanthropy is deeply personal, LEAD honors the variety of meaningful ways that gifts can take shape, as donors choose to give today, over time, every year, or for the future.
At Adelphi, many donors belong to one, two, three or all four of our LEAD Recognition and Giving Societies. Members of each society are recognized in unique ways and receive special courtesies, including invitations to exclusive events such as our annual Benefactors Reception, advance notice of campus celebrations, a special newsletter and access to our dedicated team in the Office of Advancement.
