1894 Founders Society

Our 1894 Founders Society (formerly Royal Circle of Care) celebrates leading benefactors whose lifetime giving has reached the generous level of $1,000,000 or more. Commitment levels in Royal Circle will be honored within the new 1894 Founders Society. We celebrate donors in this exclusive society through:

• Permanent recognition on our donor wall at the Children’s Wisconsin Milwaukee campus
• A one-of-a-kind personalized thank you gift
• Individual access to senior leaders at Children’s Wisconsin at special events

We are beyond grateful for the generosity of our 1894 Founders Society members. Their dedication uplifts our patients, families and practitioners, ensuring children get the best care possible.

And so, steeped in gratitude we recognize*
