Giving Society

The KGI Giving Society recognizes the extraordinary generosity of alumni, friends, faculty, and staff who donate $1,000 or more to KGI annually, alumni who have graduated in the past five years and made a gift of $500 or more, or anyone who has donated $100,000 or more in their lifetime. The members’ generous spirit helps us continue our tradition of excellence and provides current and future students with the resources needed to succeed.

At KGI, we are uniquely positioned to make lasting impacts on issues such as healthcare and life science industries. As we embark on the next 25 years of growth and innovation at KGI, we are proud and grateful to have the KGI Giving Society members as our partners in this remarkable endeavor.

All gifts, matching gifts, pledges, and pledge payments will count towards the annual membership to the giving society. For more information about the annual membership in the KGI Giving Society, please contact Advancement at advancement@kgi.edu.

Thank you for supporting the Student Support Fund! Due to your generosity, I will have the opportunity to attend the Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) Annual Meeting in Raleigh, NC, to present my KGI summer internship posters to thousands of life science professionals. I am thrilled to learn more real-life applications of the KGI curriculum and meet leaders in the industry I will be joining after graduating.
