ABOUT

Since its founding in 1994, the President’s Circle (PC) has recognized loyal and generous donors whose annual gifts make a powerful impact. Collectively, members have contributed more than $550 million to support the Academy’s mission. Membership not only ensures excellence at the Naval Academy—it also connects supporters to a vibrant community of supporters and unique experiences that celebrate their commitment.

IMPACT & RECOGNITION

President’s Circle members are the backbone of philanthropic support at the Academy. Your generosity ensures:
• World-class leadership development for midshipmen
• Academic and athletic excellence
• Traditions that connect alumni, families and the Brigade

Your name will be recognized with pride in the annual donor report, alongside others who share your commitment. 

PRESIDENT'S CIRCLE

More than 2,500 alumni, parents and friends come together each year as members of the President’s Circle, providing the philanthropic resources that strengthen the Brigade of Midshipmen and prepare leaders for the Navy, Marine Corps and the nation.
