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.
Leaders Club
The Leaders Club is Grove City College’s donor recognition and appreciation society for those who support the College at the Founder’s and 1876 giving circle levels, with gifts of $10,000 or more annually. Leaders Club members provide the financial strength that allows Grove City College to continue in its vision to be the best Christian liberal arts college in America.
Grove City College is grateful to these generous alumni and friends who have supported the College with gifts totaling $10,000 or more in the the current fiscal year.
Faith & Freedom Society
Many individuals choose to show benevolence to the College through an estate or planned gift. We thank these alumni, parents, friends and employees who plan for their legacy to benefit Grove City College with membership into the Faith & Freedom Society.
Varsity Giving Club
Grove City College alumni and friends have always been strong supporters of Wolverine athletics, and now a brand-new giving society aims to recognize their generosity and encourage new donors to come alongside our student athletes and sports programs. Membership in the Varsity Giving Club starts with gifts of $1,000 annually to Athletics or any of our sports programs or initatives (per fiscal year) and includes insider communications, reserved seats at home sporting events, GCC swag, invitations to VIP events, and much more. The Varsity Giving Club launches July 1, 2023.
