When you make an annual gift of
$1,000 or more to Elderhostel, you become a member of the Lifelong Learning Society, an honorary association created to recognize generous friends who support Elderhostel at the leadership level
year after year. Donors may choose
to have their gifts used where needed most, or target their giving to specific projects and initiatives. Donors who
are interested in learning about naming opportunities for a gift of $10,000 or more click here.

The Lifelong Learning Society
recognizes donors who make gifts
to the Elderhostel Annual Fund at
three levels:


Phyllis Hudry, a generous supporter of the Annual Fund, at the 30th Anniversary Gala in Boston, November 6, 2005 — her 87th program — where she won the award for most programs attended.

• Masters (gifts of $5,000 to $9,999)
This premiere group celebrates those annual donors who understand the important role Elderhostel plays in providing programs that enrich the mind, build connections and friendships among participants, and foster a sense of community in our world. Gifts at this level can be restricted to new program development or for enhancements to existing programs. (read more about special gifts)

• Scholars (gifts of $2,500 to $4,999)
Gifts at the Scholars level help ensure that every program we offer meets the highest standards for content and instruction. Thanks to the support of these generous friends, we are able to offer exciting new programs every year, meeting the changing needs and wishes of Elderhostelers.

• Fellows (gifts of $1,000 to $2,499)
Members of the Fellows level provide an essential foundation of support for excellence and innovation at Elderhostel.


Members of the Lifelong Learning Society will receive special recognition in an annual Honor Roll for their generosity, and will receive special communications from Elderhostel’s President. “The Lifelong Learning Society is a way for us to recognize donors who make substantial contributions to Elderhostel,” says James Moses, Elderhostel President. “Their support ensures that Elderhostel can continue not only to offer our extraordinary programs but remain fiscally sound from year to year –
thank you!”
