A Level of Distinction for Those Who Make Mars Hill a Priority

In 1856, a group of community leaders pooled their resources to establish what is now Mars Hill University. Since its humble beginnings, the institution has survived and thrived due to the incredible generosity and leadership of its alumni and friends.

To celebrate those who sustain the university at the $1000 giving level annually, we created The 1856 Society. Becoming part of this notable circle of donors signals your commitment to the school’s mission, and shows the world that Mars Hill is a priority in your life.
