        Reasons to Invest in Denver's Future

The Metropolitan State College of Denver is an institution that can, and will, change the future of Denver and its people. For nearly four decades, Metro State has made an individual investment in each student's success.

Students who make their own investment in Metro State receive an outstanding education that enables them to reach their personal and professional goals, and contribute to their communities as more dedicated, more informed and more committed citizens.

Invest in Metropolitan State College of Denver to support Metro State's mission as Colorado's College of Opportunity and its commitment to give every individual the means to work for a college degree. Your financial support is more than an investment in the long-term economic health and welfare of the community. It is an investment in a small child with big dreams, a promising high school senior who is determined to get a degree, a dedicated employee who wants career advancement or a teacher in training who is going to inspire a classroom.

Your contribution will have a significant, long-term impact on the lives of all these people and thousands more. It will help build Denver's future, one mind at a time.

BENEFITS OF GIVING

When you make a donation to Metro State everyone benefits--the students, the faculty, and the College community as a whole.  It is also important for Metro State to share these benefits by recognizing donors.

    The President's Society

The President's Society is the premier recognition organization for major contributors to the College.  Annual membership is achieved through a restricted or unrestricted gift of $1,000 or more.  It recognizes individuals, corporations and foundation donors at the prescribed levels, and it may be attained with a combination of personal and matching gifts.

Levels of membership within The President's Society are broken out as follows:  the Bronze Circle recognizes donors at the 1,000 to $4,999 level; the Silver Circle, donors between $5,000 and $24,999; and the Gold Circle, donors $25,000 and above.  The Platinum Circle recognizes individuals or corporations who have achieved lifetime giving of $500,000 and above.
