Your gift to the Terrapin Club stays “current” for one year (365 days) from the day that we process your gift. While it is current, you are awarded 8 points per $100 for that gift. The day after that year time frame is up (on the 366th day), your gift moves to the cumulative category, therefore, awarded 4 points per $100. Any historical giving is part of your cumulative or lifetime giving to the Terrapin Club. For example, Joe Terp gives $600 to the Terrapin Club. His gift was processed on June 15, 2007.
