The William Greenleaf Eliot Society’s members are leaders in supporting the Annual Fund, which provides the University’s critical margin of excellence in its mission of teaching, research, and service to community and society. Eliot Society members together represent the most generous and committed supporters of Washington University. Your annual Eliot Society contribution, when combined with those of other members from across the nation and around the world, is the largest source of unrestricted funds for the University. These gifts enable Washington University to respond to current priorities and opportunities to enhance its educational programs and resources.
