Established in 2026, the IMPACT Society honors individuals and organizations whose cumulative lifetime giving of $500,000 or more in outright contributions to the Herbert Wertheim College of Business has helped advance the mission and vision of the college.
The IMPACT Society reflects the transformative power of meaningful giving. Its members’ investment supports students, empowers faculty, strengthens academic programs and fuels innovation across the college. Their commitment not only contributes to today’s success but also helps build a legacy of excellence that will endure for years to come.
Members of the IMPACT Society are recognized at three distinguished levels:

INNOVATOR
Donors with a cumulative lifetime giving of $1,000,000 to $2,499,999
INVESTOR

Gifts counted toward IMPACT Society membership include outright contributions such as cash, stock and property; pledge payments; corporate matching gifts; gifts-in-kind; and irrevocable planned gifts.
The society’s distinctive logo features four stylized columns inspired by the architectural pillars that frame the two main entrances of the Herbert Wertheim Center for Business Excellence. These columns serve as a visual reminder of our donors’ pillars of preeminence and the enduring foundation they provide for our college. The top of the building’s four columns is designed as torches—three representing Florida State University’s historic motto of strength, skill, and character, and a fourth symbolizing legacy. Together, they reflect the values that guide our community and the lasting impact of those who support it.
