Gifts to the Annual Fund
Direct your annual Washington University gift to the Center for the Humanities to support ongoing programs such as the James E. McLeod Memorial Lecture on Higher Education, the Faculty Book Celebration, which honors our faculty’s scholarship and inquiry, publication of the Humanities Broadsheet, a monthly publication that highlights humanities-related events on campus and in the St. Louis area, or our faculty workshops that provide an important forum for faculty development in grant-seeking, academic publishing and public engagement. Century Club membership begins with an Annual Fund gift of $100 or more. Annual Fund gifts of $1,000 or more earn membership into the Eliot Society, a leadership society that benefits from exclusive events and offerings such as the Black Tie Annual Dinner and discounted rates for the Whittemore House.
