Loyal donors are the cornerstone of Chicago Booth’s success.
Alumni donors provide the critical funding we need to offer scholarships to students, support curricular innovation, and to help fund faculty research.

In recognition of this commitment, the Maroon Loyalty Society honors alumni at varying levels of giving—from our Advocate members, who are at the beginning of their commitment to giving back, to our small but elite group of Guardian members, who have been giving for 20 or more years.

Recognition in the Maroon Loyalty Society Honor Roll of Donors
Exclusive invitations to events
Dedicated access to Maroon Loyalty Society staff

Guardian* | 20+ years of consecutive giving |
