The Cerulean Society

The Leadership Giving Society

The Cerulean Society assembles members of the alumni community who uniquely personify and endow the Alumni Association’s continued dedication to innovation, discovery and the advancement of Johns Hopkins’ global impact.

Cerulean’s Impact 

When you elect to contribute to the Alumni Association’s endowment at a leadership level, you demonstrate your commitment to the vision and future of your alumni association. By your generous support, you also set an example of commitment that is becoming an inspirational benchmark of engagement for members of the Johns Hopkins community everywhere. 

A significant percentage of each Cerulean-level donation to the Alumni Association endowment funds activities within each of the university’s nine divisions. Your gifts therefore support alumni activity, like reunion and homecoming events, in perpetuity.

Society members’ contributions to the Alumni Association endowment also sustain the association’s special awards and grants for alumni, faculty and students. 

Membership

Membership in the Cerulean Society is limited to alumni who make a tax-deductible contribution of $5,000 or more to the Alumni Association’s endowment. 

Become a member by using our online form or by calling (800) 548-5481.
