Lifetime giving recognition
The University of New Brunswick's Donor Honour Wall showcases the generosity of our donors falling into a variety of societies.
Benefactors Society
The Benefactors Society recognizes the University’s most generous donors - individuals, families and organizations - who want to see UNB continue to be one of the country’s great universities.
Members of the Benefactors Society represent a long tradition of giving and a legacy that includes new buildings, endowed chairs, centres and professorships, and many undergraduate and graduate scholarships.
The Benefactors Society recognizes the cumulative, lifetime contributions of $25,000 and above to the University. Once a donor’s cumulative gift exceeds the $25,000 minimum, lifetime membership is assured in one of the following cumulative gift societies. Gifts-in-kind will not be considered in determining qualification.
Members of the Benefactors Society are listed on the donor walls located in the Wu Centre on the Fredericton campus and in Ganong Hall on the Saint John campus.
