Giving Societies

Ivy Stone Society

The Ivy Stone Society is a giving society established in 2007 to recognize Penn undergraduate alumni who make consecutive gifts of any amount to The Penn Fund for three years or more. Just as every graduating class counts on placing their Ivy Stone on campus as part of the Ivy Day tradition, The Penn Fund can count on members of the Ivy Stone Society to demonstrate their commitment to Penn every fiscal year (July 1 – June 30). The establishment of this society commends and recognizes their efforts.
