Join a Giving Society

Kutztown University Foundation has established Giving Societies to recognize and celebrate our donors and their impact on the lives of our students and campus community.

ICON DOORS

Old Main Society

The Old Main Society was established to encourage, support and celebrate deferred gifts that ensure our university and foundation remain vital and vibrant for those who come after us.

Deferred charitable gifts, also known as planned gifts or legacy gifts, offer the greatest opportunity for the foundation and the donor while building long-term financial stability for Kutztown University. These gift arrangements are a way to reflect your values by leaving a lasting philanthropic legacy, as well as offering the opportunity to make a significant impact on a student’s experience. In addition, they often have considerable tax advantages for the donor and/or family members.

If you are interested in learning more about planned gifts or wish to share with us that you have already made a bequest to benefit Kutztown University in your estate plans, please contact us at 610.683.4110 or together@kuf.org 

HEADSHOT HANCHER

George B. Hancher Society

The George B. Hancher Society, named in honor of the Reverend George B. Hancher, Principal of Keystone State Normal School (1893-1899), recognizes donors who have established endowments at Kutztown University Foundation. Endowed funds are invested in perpetuity, and the income from those investments provides continuity in funding to support scholarships and the university.
