Recognizing Your Generosity

Helen Palmer Kettler Society

The Helen Palmer Kettler Society honors alumni, friends, faculty, and staff who support American University through a bequest intention, charitable gift annuity, charitable trust, or other planned gift.

In gratitude for that generosity, the University spotlights the philanthropic leadership of society members in publications. They are also invited to select special events, including the President's Circle Celebration.

If you are considering including AU in your charitable estate plans, please share our Sample Bequest Language with your estate planning attorney. Once you establish a bequest, or if you have already done so, please complete the Bequest Intention Form and submit it to the Office of Planned Giving so that you may be welcomed as a member of the Helen Palmer Kettler Society.
