Compass Society
Compass Society
The Compass Society is Camp Kudzu’s signature giving program, bringing together individuals who provide leadership-level support to advance our mission and ensure children and families living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have access to life-changing programs and experiences throughout the year. Through meaningful multi-year commitments, Compass Society members provide reliable foundation that helps sustain and strengthen Camp Kudzu’s programming while allowing us to plan confidently for the future. Their generosity and partnership are an investment in Camp Kudzu’s mission, legacy, and the generations of campers and families we will serve for years to come.
You can be a vital part of Camp Kudzu’s legacy and future by joining our Compass Society. Leadership gifts and multi-year pledges begin at $5,000+ and may be fulfilled over a three-year period. If you are interested in joining, please contact Desirae August at desirae.august@campkudzu.org or (404) 495-4853.
We welcome the opportunity to talk through your level of commitment and explore a meaningful investment that aligns with your philanthropic goals and passion for Camp Kudzu’s mission.
"I’m proud to be a member of the Compass Society because I know that my gifts help children living with type 1 diabetes learn how to manage their disease. This will empower them to do whatever they set their minds to without diabetes getting in their way."
