SIEPR Philanthropic Recognition Society

When you become an individual or corporate member at SIEPR, you join a diverse network of policymakers and influencers from academia, business, and the government.  We act as a leading convener to educate and energize diverse voices on economic policy.

Recognition Society

Driven by philanthropy, SIEPR makes a lasting impact across the U.S. and around the world. We would like to celebrate your generosity to the SIEPR Fund and commitment to our mission through our philanthropic recognition society. This society represents a community of individuals and organizations that have made a significant impact on advancing our economic policy research and public engagement.

  • Leadership Circle ($25,000 - $49,999)
    Recognizing donors who have deepened their commitment to SIEPR’s mission to advance rigorous economic research and shape evidence-based policy, and established themselves as leaders at SIEPR.
