Philanthropic support provides the opportunity for Winthrop to innovate and inspire - from scholarship support for students to the development of new initiatives to the upkeep of physical spaces. Support from donors is also the best endorsement Winthrop can receive. With gifts to Winthrop, donors create partnership for good, and this partnership sends ripples into the Winthrop community, changing the lives of students during their experience on campus and well beyond.
We thank you for standing with us in our commitment to Winthrop students today, and tomorrow.
We recognize our donors' generosity through various recognition societies. These societies not only honor our donors but also illustrate how their support fosters excellence at Winthrop.

D.B. Johnson, Winthrop’s founding president, had a vision. With a gift from Robert Winthrop of the Peabody Foundation, Dr. Johnson created what is today one of South Carolina’s top-performing public universities.
The D.B. Johnson Society consists of a loyal group of individuals who have included Winthrop University in their estate plans. Like Robert Winthrop, members of the D.B. Johnson Society know that the plans they make today will provide perpetual support to Winthrop University and its mission.
