In 1981, the Board of Trustees of Simpson College established The Presidents' Society to honor those persons who had shown outstanding generosity in their financial support of the college. Over the years, this recognition club has grown significantly in membership and strength. Today, the support provided by The Presidents' Society members is the foundation of THE SIMPSON FUND, the college's annual effort to provide funds for financial assistance to deserving students and the operating budget. The Presidents' Society is recognized as the premier philanthropic group of Simpson College.
