Recognition

 
Gifts from our global community of alumni, students, staff and friends are vital to fortifying INSEAD’s mission and ensuring that the school remains a leader in business management education.
 
We appreciate every gift and have many ways to express gratitude for our donors’ generosity. 

The Circle of Patrons recognises alumni, organisations and friends who make outstanding contributions to INSEAD’s advancement.

 

This is the highest level of distinction through which INSEAD honours these leading supporters whose gifts have enabled transformational developments. Individual donors who contribute €1 million or more and organisations that give €3 million or more become lifetime members of this select Circle. In recognition, the Patrons enjoy special privileges of access and visibility in the INSEAD community.

The school created the Circle of Patrons on 29 September 1995. Its charter members included industry leaders and visionaries who played key roles in INSEAD’s development. This tradition has strengthened over the years.

 

The Salamander awards celebrate the loyalty of alumni and friends who have supported the school over time.

 

The Salamander - a legendary creature, famed for its valour and perseverance - was the insignia of King François I. It decorates the Château de Fontainebleau where the first INSEAD classes were held and inspired the INSEAD Alumni Association to choose it as their emblem.

INSEAD recognises Salamander holders on campus donor walls, in the annual Donors Report and at the Dean’s Leadership Receptions.

INSEAD awarded the Salamander statuettes for the first time in 1987 and the pins in 2012. The awards vary according to the giving levels:

These gifts are a special source of strength and support for the school’s future, particularly as they underscore the donor’s trust and deep bond with the school. The Georges and Edna Doriot Society members are permanently recognised in the Donors Report, receive regular updates from the school and are invited to exclusive institutional events.
