Charles Macalester Society

Recognition in the Charles Macalester Society is offered to living individuals whose lifetime giving has reached or exceeded $1 million. Recognition is given in perpetuity. Honorees are listed below.

Charles Macalester was a philanthropist of the highest order. He was a trusted advisor and friend to many U.S. Presidents including Jackson, Van Buren, Polk, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln, and Grant. A fervent supporter of the arts and educational enterprises, Macalester left a tremendous legacy by giving a title to a hotel in Minneapolis, which was sold to pay for land in St. Paul.

Charles Macalester Society honorees have participated in the life of the college in countless important ways, helping to build a strong financial foundation. The Charles Macalester Society exists to recognize their extraordinarily generous lifetime financial support.

Charles Macalester Society honorees will be recognized in the Charles Macalester Society roster, which appears in various college publications. Members also receive invitations to select events and are presented with a unique memento to honor their generosity.
