East Stroudsburg University Consecutive Giving Society

The Consecutive Giving Society was created to recognize those alumni, parents, friends, faculty, and staff who make annual gifts of support to ESU. Year after year, these loyal donors provide resources for ESU to enhance academic offerings, expand athletic facilities, and create opportunities for students. Consecutive annual gifts, regardless of amount, transform student lives.

East Stroudsburg University would like to honor our donors who have given for at least five consecutive years with membership in the Consecutive Giving Society. Inclusion in this distinguished group is designed to celebrate the value of loyalty among consistent donors. Your generous giving is so meaningful to our university.
