Honoring Donors for Their Generosity

At Purdue Fort Wayne, we are honored to have so many generous donors who are committed to making our university. The following information tells different ways we recognize them.

Chancellor’s Society

At the core of the Chancellor’s Society is our ongoing mission to foster student success. Members of the Chancellor’s Society share a common mission and vision: Purdue Fort Wayne—and our students—are worth the investment.

Join the Chancellor’s Society by making a one-time gift of $1,000 or more in cash or stock, or multiple gifts or pledges that total a minimum of $1,000 in a calendar year.

Here are some of the benefits of being a member of the Chancellor’s Society:

  • Exclusive invitation to Purdue Fort Wayne’s annual Celebrate Philanthropy dinner
  • Invitations to special events on campus, including receptions for guest speakers from the Omnibus Lectures Series
  • Opportunities for direct interaction with Purdue Fort Wayne deans, faculty, and staff

Donors with $25,000 or more in lifetime giving are recognized at the Benefactor Level. Those whose lifetime gifts surpass $250,000 are honored as Diamond Benefactor Level donors.

Begin your membership in the Chancellor’s Society by making a gift today. For more details about giving options, contact the Development at 260-481-4151 or giving@pfw.edu.

Weitzman Society

The Weitzman Society, named after Oscar and Ophelia Weitzman, is Purdue Fort Wayne’s planned giving society. The Weitzman Legacy Society offers the opportunity to connect with and properly thank donors during their lifetime—donors whose gifts may otherwise go unrecognized until the time of their passing. Our goal is to ensure that their legacy and wishes are remembered and honored, now and in the decades to come.

Here are some of the benefits of being in the Oscar and Ophelia Weitzman Legacy Society:

  • Membership certificate and commemorative pin
  • Exclusive invitation to Purdue Fort Wayne’s annual Celebrate Philanthropy dinner
  • Valuable financial and estate-planning services

Development will be happy to welcome you into the Weitzman Society. Arrange an appointment by contacting us at 260-481-6962 or giving@pfw.edu.
