The Ridley Society
The Ridley Society (TRS)
The Ridley Society is an important way for you to engage in the life of the college and provide much needed support to ensure its ongoing viability and growth.
Membership of TRS is open to all alumni & friends of Ridley who commit to:
A. make an annual gift of any amount to the College, by mail, ADF or Internet Banking, or give via the broadly-based Annual Giving program introduced in 2004; and/or…
B. Include Ridley in their will (and notify the College they’ve done so—however, it is NOT a requirement to advise the College of the amount of the intended bequest).
