Recognition Societies

Founders’ Society
When you make a planned gift to Nipissing University, you become a member of an exclusive club – the Founders’ Society. This society is named in honour of a group of dedicated and passionate individuals whose hard work and perseverance founded the university we know today. Membership includes a life-long affiliation to the University, recognition in our annual donor listing (with your permission), a subscription to the Nipissing University Review magazine, and invitations to special events on campus.

The 1992 Leadership Society
Membership in the 1992 Leadership Society includes all donors with annual gifts in the current fiscal year totaling $1,000 or greater. The year 1992 marked both Nipissing University’s 25th anniversary and the year in which it became the newest university in Canada. The Nipissing University Act, signed December 10, 1992 by the Lieutenant Governor for the province of Ontario, gave the institution the right to grant baccalaureate degrees as an independent, chartered university.
