Giving Societies

The 1902 Society, named for the year in which Brunswick School was founded, is intended to recognize those individuals and families whose total giving to the School has surpassed $1 million. In acknowledging their extraordinary generosity and commitment to Brunswick, we also hope to inspire others to follow their example by bringing their own giving to the same level of philanthropic leadership. In the ten years since 1902 Society was established, the number of such singular and distinguished donors has risen to 112.

*Donors contributing $10,000 or more to the ‘Wick Annual Fund during the current fiscal year become members of The Caputo Society and will be invited to the Head of School’s annual Caputo Society Reception.

The Caputo Society is named in honor of visionary Brunswick Board Chairman A. Macdonald Caputo (1941-2017), whose faithful and generous support for the Annual Fund served as a continuing inspiration to the entire school community. The society includes those who have been most generous to ‘Wick Annual Fund drives, making gifts of $10,000 or more during the current fiscal year.

The Brown & Gold Society recognizes our most consistent Annual Fund donors — those who have made a gift each and every year for 10 consecutive years or more. Their commitment to long-term generosity sustains and strengthens our community spirit. All members of the Brown & Gold Society are recognized in the Annual Report.

The George E. Carmichael Society honors alumni, parents, and friends who have remembered Brunswick in their estate plans through charitable bequests, trusts, or other provisions. Named for Brunswick’s Founder and first Head of School, George E. Carmichael, the Society was established in 1995 to privately honor a group of individuals who had informed the school of their thoughtful gift intentions. Learn more about Planned Giving.  All members of the George E. Carmichael Society are recognized in the Annual Report.
