Once a Founder, always a Founder®

Any individual or organization donating more than $100 or more will receive Founder recognition, including recognition as a GIPA Founder on our website, in various email and social communications, and at our marquee events year after year. The Founding Status Tier is determined by the cumulative contribution received by GIPA, giving individuals and organizations the opportunity to increase their status year-over-year!
