Philanthropic Leadership

The UCLA School of Dentistry is especially grateful for Apollonian Society donors who have demonstrated exceptional philanthropic leadership and loyalty, either by becoming Founding or Silver Cirlce members, or by giving above and beyond the annual membership level.

Leadership Giving

Apollonian Society members who contribute $1,000 or more annually to the School of Dentistry demonstrate incredible leadership and commitment to our students and the school.  Our Patrons, Sponsors and Benefactors provide a solid foundation of support, helping the school to maintain and grow its reputation for excellence. 

Leadership giving qualifies donors for special courtesies, including discounts on UCLA School of Dentistry continuing education lecture courses and opportunities for campus-wide recognition through the Chancellor's Circle, Chancellor's Associates and Women & Philanthropy programs.  For more information on leadership giving, please contact us at apollonian@support.ucla.edu or (310) 206-0215.

Founding Members

In 2004-05, alumni leaders and school administrators launched a campaign to establish a strong financial base for the newly reconstituted Apollonian Society (previously known as the Apollonians), the school's annual giving program.

Alumni, faculty members, friends and corporate partners who pledged $5,000 during this campaign are known as Founding Members of the Apollonian Society, and are recognized as such on Apollonian Society letterhead and in school publications.  Their visionary leadership has been instrumental in raising $1.7 million over the past six years to enhance the dental student experience at UCLA.

Silver Circle

While the success of the 2004-05 Founding Members campaign was instrumental in helping to build a strong financial base for the reconstituted Apollonian Society, the school also recognizes that loyalty and prolonged engagement have served as the foundation of our success since the early 1970s.  We acknowledge the profound philanthropic commitment of those donors who have given to the Apollonian Society and its predecessor, the Apollonians, for 25 years or more through the Apollonian Society Silver Circle.
