  • THE Colonnade Society recognizes donors who contribute annual gifts totaling $1,000 or more to Maryland. Gifts may support any designation at the university and must be made during the university's fiscal year (July 1-June 30).

    Borrowing its name from the strong and graceful Georgian architectural elements that create Maryland's stately beauty, the Colonnade Society includes alumni, friends, faculty and staff who are committed to sustaining Maryland's momentum. Members of the Colonnade Society lead the Maryland family by their example, giving generously of their financial resources and their time to support the academic mission and future success of the university.
