Loyalty Donor Program

The Panther Pride Loyalty Society

Purpose

The Panther Pride Loyalty Society celebrates alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends who demonstrate an ongoing commitment to Florida Tech through consecutive annual giving. No matter the size or designation of a gift, loyal supporters help strengthen the university year after year and ensure future generations of Panthers can thrive.

Qualifications

Florida Tech’s Fiscal Year Runs July 1 – June 30.

Membership begins after 3 consecutive fiscal years of giving.
Recognition is based on consecutive annual gifts of any amount to any fund.
Annual membership status is reviewed each fiscal year.
Consecutive giving is reset if a donor misses a fiscal year.

Collect, Achieve, Advance

One of the most exciting features of the Panther Pride Loyalty Society is the opportunity to build a collection that reflects your philanthropic journey.

Annual Loyalty Collectibles

Crimson, Silver, and Gold members will receive an exclusive annual collectible magnet each fiscal year. Every year features a new design, giving members something fresh to look forward to while building a collection that celebrates their loyalty to Florida Tech.

These designs may feature:

Florida Tech traditions
Panther Pride themes
Campus landmarks
Space Coast inspiration
University milestones

Members are encouraged to collect them all as their years of consecutive giving grow.

Platinum and Beyond

Beginning at the Platinum level, recognition includes premium Panther Pride Loyalty Society pins in addition to your collectible magnet.

Members receive a commemorative pin when they first reach a new loyalty milestone tier.
New pins are awarded only when advancing to the next tier.
During the years between milestones, members will continue to receive a personalized stewardship letter recognizing their ongoing support, updating them on their current status, and encouraging them toward their next loyalty achievement.

This approach makes each new pin a meaningful accomplishment while preserving the excitement of reaching future milestones. We hope you’ll wear these pins with Panther Pride!
