Qualifications
The 1890 Annual Giving Circle commemorates the founding of the NSDAR by recognizing those who give to the General Fund, allowing NSDAR to allocate funds to the areas of greatest need. Those who give $500 or more to the NSDAR General Fund during a fiscal year—January 1 through December 31—are recognized in the 1890 Annual Giving Circle.
Your gifts to the General Fund make a difference in every room of our Society’s home. These donations are integral to providing the day-to-day care, staffing and security necessary to maintain one of the largest buildings owned and operated exclusively by women. Member contributions account for a significant percentage of the NSDAR operating budget, so giving—and giving every year—makes an enormous difference.
