SPA’s leadership program began in 2010 with the creation of the Leadership Giving Society, recognizing individuals taking a leadership role every year in ensuring the strength and future of St. Paul Academy and Summit School.
Donors making gifts of $2,500 or more to the Annual Fund are members of the Leadership Giving Society. Young alumni/ae who have graduated in the past 15 years are also invited to consider becoming members of the Spartan Gold Club Leadership Giving Society (see details in next tab).
Donors are honored by the Head of School and Board of Trustees at the annual Leadership Giving Society Evening, and at other events throughout the year. Leadership Giving Society members also receive special recognition in the Annual Report and Honor Roll of Donors.
Giving levels were introduced within the Leadership Giving Society several years ago as a way to recognize leadership giving to SPA. The President’s Circle was formed first to honor those donors giving at the highest level to the Annual Fund. In 2016-17, two more named, giving levels—Partner's Circle and Ambassador's Circle— were added, giving further identity to our donors who are part of the Leadership Giving Society.
$2,500-$4,999 |
Ambassador's Circle |
$5,000-$9,999 |
Partner's Circle |
$10,000+ |

Strong support of the Annual Fund from leaders within our trustee, parent, alumni/ae, and community of friends allows St. Paul Academy and Summit School to realize the potential of our school and invigorate our strong foundation for the future.
