The Laurel Society

Since 1994, Soroptimist International of the Americas has recognized donors through the Laurel Society. Together, these donors have given millions of dollars to the Dream Programs, which expand access to education and training for women and girls.

 

How Laurel Society recognition works

Recognition begins at Attaché when your eligible lifetime gifts reach $1,000. Each level has a pin with its own stone color.

Which Gifts Count

One-time and recurring gifts to Soroptimist International of the Americas count. You can also receive credit for gifts made in your honor, funds raised through a peer-to-peer fundraiser for the federation, and employer matches.

Club Giving, Founders Pennies, contributions to the Soroptimist International Foundation, and donated goods are excluded. When you assign tribute gift credit to the honoree, that credit goes to them.

 

Recurring Giving through Stargazers

Stargazers set up automatic monthly or quarterly gifts. These gifts give the Dream Programs steady funding and can build toward Laurel Society recognition. A gift of $25 a month totals $300 in a year.

 

Planning a Future Gift through Laurel Legacy

Laurel Legacy recognizes people who arrange future gifts, such as naming Soroptimist International of the Americas in a will. Soroptimist honors the commitment with a pin and recognition at events. After receiving the gift, it adds the donor’s name to a memorial plaque at its Philadelphia headquarters.

 

Laurel Society Recognition at Convention

According to Soroptimist’s FAQ, donors qualify for an event invitation if they first reach Attaché during the current two-year convention cycle, or already hold Attaché or higher and give at least $500 during that cycle.
