CFI Conservatory · Founding Patron

Description

The CFI Conservatory is the long-arc commitment—a Catholic film school of the highest caliber, married to the rigor of Thomas Aquinas College and the craft excellence of AFI. Founding Patrons join the launch slate of underwriters whose initial gifts make the school's existence possible: the cornerstone donors whose names sit at the chartering.

Recognition is tiered by commitment level, and the relationship is long-term.

Recognition tiers

•       $50,000–$99,999  Founding Patron — named in the school's chartering documents, on the founding recognition wall, and in the inaugural year program

•       $100,000–$249,999  Founding Patron, Distinguished — above + a named lecture series or named scholarship endowment

•       $250,000+  Founding Patron, Cornerstone — above + eligibility for major named facility opportunities (Lecture Hall, Library, Cinema, Department Chair)

Across all tiers

•       Lifetime invitation to the Conservatory commencement

•       Annual Founders' Dinner with the President of CFI

•       Periodic written and in-person updates from the President

•       Recognition in all Conservatory communications and printed materials

Best fit

Catholic foundations, family offices, and individual benefactors with capacity for long-arc institutional gifts. This is the gift that builds the school.
