Leadership Society Donation

The Heritage Foundation Leadership Society

The Heritage Foundation Leadership Society is an important circle of donors who provide vital support to the Heritage Foundation’s annual operations. By contributing $1,000 or more a year, Heritage Foundation Leadership Society donors close the gap between our operating expenses and funds raised from events, sponsorships, membership and other sources. The Leadership Society is the lifeblood of our organization and makes an immediate impact on the scope of our work on preservation and education for generations to come.

Please lend your support by joining the Leadership Society today. As a thank you, you will receive an invitation to the annual Leadership Society reception, special access to private events, and more.  For a list of full benefits, contact Melissa Houck, Director of Development at (615) 591-8500 x123 or email mhouck@williamsonheritage.org.

We are extremely grateful for the support we receive! Each gift is fully tax deductible to the extent of the law. Donors will be recognized in the annual report, on the Heritage Foundation website, and during the Annual Meeting.
