Donor Recognition and Naming Opportunities

Donors at all levels receive a thank you letter from Kepler College that acknowledges the donor by name, specifies the amount of the gift or value of the goods or service, notes any designated purpose or conditions, gives Kepler’s 501 c-3 status and tax exempt number, and acknowledges that the donor received no material or financial benefit for the gift.

Kepler College is a Non-Profit Corporation under IRS (501) c-3, and donations are tax deductible

With your donation, Kepler will be able to grow and build on its offerings of quality astrological education and services to the larger community. It is important to us that our donors, whether they have given cash or non-cash donations, receive full and lasting recognition for their generosity to Kepler unless a particular donor may feel otherwise. There are a number of ways in which Kepler would take great pride in recognizing the contribution made by an individual donor.

Depending on the level of donation, these possibilities include membership in one of a variety of different societies that merit permanent specific recognition on our website. Kepler College would appreciate the opportunity to consult with potential donors just prior to the making of the gift to ensure that the donor is recognized by the college in a way that is most appropriate.

The Kepler graduation program will honor all donors from the past two years. The Kepler website will contain the list of the cumulative donations for donors.
