Giving Societies

The Ketler Society

Named in honor of Isaac Ketler and founded in 1998, Grove City College created the Ketler Society to honor and recognize those donors who exemplify a passionate commitment to a Christian liberal arts education free from federal funding. Donors who contribute at the following levels annually become members of the Ketler Society.

Giving amount: $1,000-2,499

Giving amount: $2,500-4999

Giving amount: $5,000-9,999

When you join the Ketler Society you become an active part of Grove City College’s pursuit of excellence by providing resources that create opportunity for students, faculty and programs.  As a Ketler Society member, you will enjoy:

  • Preferred parking and preferred seating on campus at select College events, including Homecoming
  • Exclusive College updates and insights with President Paul J. McNulty ’80 
  • Invitations to special donor recognition events, on campus and in your region
  • An exclusive 10% discount on all purchases (excluding textbooks) at the College bookstore, redeemable online or on campus

*Corporate matching gifts will apply toward Ketler Society membership when actual funds are received. Funds must be received in the same fiscal year as the originating gift to count toward membership.

The College thanks these generous supporters who have given $1,000 or more in the current fiscal year, many of whom have supported the College at this level for many years.
