The Founders Circle recognizes deferred gifts designated to council endowments.
Donors are recognized for gift commitments with a minimum value of $100,000. Donors may qualify with gifts of charitable bequests in a will or codicil; charitable trusts (such as unitrusts, annuity trusts, and lead trusts); gift annuities or pooled income fund gifts; life insurance or IRA/retirement plan designations; other deferred gifts approved by the local council.
There are four levels of membership within the Founders Circle:
Bronze: $100,000 and up;
Silver: $250,000 and up;
Gold: $500,000 and up;
Platinum: $1,000,000 and up.
In the spirit of the BSA's early founders, and their vision and commitment to make Scouting the top youth organization in the world, the Founders Circle honors our modern-day visionaries who share their commitment to these visions and beliefs.
To declare your intent to make a Founder's Circle gift, please contact Santa Clara County Council Finance Director.
