1876 Planned Giving Society Donors

Annual Giving Programs

We recognize those donors that give to the Colleges each year under the following  programs:

The New Eighteen Society

In 1880, The Royal Military College of Canada graduated its first 18 gentlemen cadets; now known as “The Old Eighteen”.  The purpose of the New Eighteen Society is to recognize the top 18 major financial contributions to the RMC Foundation each calendar year by individual donors (not classes, branches, corporations or other collective bodies). Since the purpose of the New 18 is to promote philanthropy, those who wish to remain anonymous will not be included, and the next ranking individual will be added. Only actual, current year donations will be taken into consideration.  The RMC Foundation will recognize the top individual contributors each year by displaying their names on our Annual Donation board located in Yeo Hall, on our website and in other Foundation material.

The Benefactor Program

This program includes all annual donations.  The Benefactor Program has four levels of recognition as outlined below:

1. Grand Benefactor: A donation of $10,000 or more.
2. Benefactor: A donation of $5,000 or more.
3. Friend: A donation of $2,000 or more.
4. Sponsor: A donation of $1,000 or more.
