The Lifetime Giving Society was established to honor the long-term philanthropic contributions of Crimson Tide supporters and to encourage lifelong giving. Since the inception of the Lifetime Giving Society in 2010, we have witnessed remarkable generosity from Alabama Athletics supporters. During this time frame, donors to our highest giving level, the Bryant Society, have increased from seven to over 120.
To continue recognizing ongoing philanthropy, the Lifetime Giving Society members are acknowledged at the following levels:
- Circle: $100,000 - $249,999
- Alliance: $250,000 - $499,999
- Legacy: $500,000 - $999,999
- Tradition: $1,000,000 - $1,499,999
- Bryant Society: $1,500,000 or more
Donors are recognized in a particular level as their total lifetime contributions to the Crimson Tide Foundation reach the minimum threshold for that level, not including outstanding pledges. There are two exceptions related to the Bryant Society. All donors who have attained membership in the Bryant Society by June 30, 2025 by contributing at least $1,000,000 will continue to be recognized as such. Additionally, anyone whose signed commitment to reach $1,000,000 is dated before July 1, 2025 will be recognized as a Bryant Society member once that pledge is fulfilled, provided it remains in good standing for the duration of the payment schedule.
All donors who have reached any of the above listed levels of the Lifetime Giving Society are recognized on the Crimson Tide Foundation website and in the Donor Hall of Recognition in Bryant-Denny Stadium with active donors’ names distinguished on those listings. Additionally, only active donors will receive special event invitations. An active donor is defined as anyone who meets the minimum required lifetime giving threshold and has contributed at least $4,000 total within the previous five fiscal years.
College athletics is undergoing unprecedented changes. Thanks to the contributions of our donors, The University of Alabama is well positioned to face these challenging and uncertain times. Private funding is crucial to our continued success, and we are deeply grateful for the generosity of so many. The Lifetime Giving Society provides a framework for the Crimson Tide Foundation to steward our donors, whose continued philanthropy has facilitated this success.
The listing of Lifetime Giving Society members is currently being updated and will be posted no later than September 1, 2025.
