FOUNDERS CIRCLE
The Founders Circle was designed to recognize individuals, and families that make deferred gifts to local council endowment funds. Donors are recognized for gift commitments with a minimum value of $100,000. The donor qualifies for the membership in the Founders Circle with gifts through:
Bequest in a will or codicil
Charitable Remainder Trust
Gift Annuity or BSA Pooled Income Fund
Life Insurance
Retirement Plan/IRA designation
Other deferred gifts approved by the council
There are four levels of membership in the Founders Circle:
Bronze $100,000 minimum gift commitment
Silver $250,000 minimum gift commitment
Gold $500,000 minimum gift commitment
Platinum $1,000,000 minimum gift commitment
The early founders of the BSA had the vision and commitment to make Scouting the number one values based youth organization in the world. In that spirit, we honor the modern day visionaries who qualify for the Founders Circle in their commitment to perpetuate the visions and beliefs of those founders.
