About donors
We are grateful for the generosity of our donors who enable us to help children, families, and communities in need worldwide. These donors are vital to the success of the MDRT Foundation’s global grant programs.
Lifetime Giving
Knights of the MDRT Foundation
The MDRT Foundation created Knight donor levels to recognize the generous lifetime support from our donors. Each Knight level recognizes a significant achievement in charitable giving that supports a diverse range of charitable causes worldwide. Your lifetime giving total is the sum of all donations made in your lifetime, including: cash donations to any fundraising campaign, tributes, speaker fee donations, matching gifts, in-kind donations, cash value of donated life insurance policies, premium payments on donated life insurance policies, or appreciated securities.
