SOCIETY OF THE LION & SHIELD

SCI Foundation’s overall giving program is named the Society of the Lion & Shield with the levels of giving based on animal names. The giving program works on a cumulative basis as you move up the levels over time and there are many levels and ways to donate as every dollar helps to fund our mission and sustain our organization.  Recognition comes from benefit gifts and acknowledgements.

  • Pledges to SCI Foundation will be recognized at the pledged level, and recognition benefits for the pledged level will be awarded—as long as pledge payments remain current. If pledge payments lapse for any reason, recognition will stay at the amounts paid to date. Pledges can be made up to a 5-year period.
  • Cumulative giving is tracked by the SCI Foundation development department. The starting date is August 2010 and once a new Society of the Lion & Shield Animal Giving Level has been reached, a letter will be sent sharing the new recognition level.
  • Only operational and restricted gifts to the Foundation will count towards recognition levels.  SCIPAC donations, raffles, sweepstakes, and auction purchases do not apply.
