Charles McMicken Society
Created in 1972, the Charles McMicken Society recognizes and honors the University of Cincinnati's most important donors.
McMicken donors generate the most significant block of private, individual support received by the University each year. The Society is dedicated to UC's goal of providing exceptional educational opportunities to the men and women who work toward their futures at UC.
The McMicken Society recognizes donors based upon their UC support within two distinct giving categories:
- Annual Giving of $1,000 and more
- Cumulative Giving (lifetime) of $100,000 or more
Levels of giving
The Charles McMicken Society recognizes individuals or couples who give $1,000 or more annually to any part of the University (through single or multiple gifts) and individuals or couples with certain levels of cumulative giving.
Annual giving
Three donor levels recognize the legacy of generous commitment started in 1858 by Charles McMicken:
