Annual fund dollars help Darden’s leadership say “yes” to innovative programs, experiential learning opportunities and enrichment of the Darden experience. Darden is pleased to introduce a designated gifts process that enables you as the donor to design your impact. You now have the choice and flexibility to support an area of the School that matters the most to you. The six annual fund designation opportunities align with the highest priority areas of the School.

Darden Society Leadership Gift Levels The Darden Society recognizes donors who make leadership gifts of $2,500 or more to Darden each year.
The Hickory Club The Hickory Club recognizes Darden alumni who have given consistently each year to Darden for a minimum of three years. Hickory was Dean Charles C. Abbott’s ever-loyal black Labrador retriever and is a symbol of the dedication Darden alumni express for the School through consecutive giving.
