Founders' Society

The Founders' Society recognizes alumni, parents, grandparents, and friends who contribute a total of $2,500 or more to Gilman in one fiscal year, regardless of restriction. These donors display a special commitment to the educational standards established in 1897 by the School's founders.

Through their generosity each year, members of the Founders' Society help to ensure that the quality of a Gilman education continues today. The annual dinner celebrates the members for their generous and steadfast support of Gilman School.
