New England College celebrates the generosity of our donors who contribute $1,000 or more in unrestricted gifts each year through membership in the prestigious Founders Society. Giving at this level plays an important role in sustaining the programming that supports the academic goals of our students. This group of dedicated leadership donors has made a commitment that allows the College to realize its mission of civic engagement that is driven by academic excellence.
