The 1872 Society
The importance of lifetime recognition
In many ways, the provision for Aber of a bequest in your Will is the greatest gift of all. It signifies the belief you have in all that Aber stands for, and it creates a living testimony to that affection beyond your death.
The University believes that such a commitment to the future should not be recognised purely through acts of remembrance, and that those who have chosen to endow that future should be both honoured and thanked in their lifetime. It is for this reason that we have created the 1872 Society, named in honour of the founding of the University.
Membership of the Society is granted to all those who have signified their intention to make a bequest to Aber. Recognising that such a decision is often private and personal, the list of members is not published, but an annual luncheon is held every year at which, in a quiet but meaningful way, the University is able to offer the membership its thanks and keep them abreast of current development plans.
The University also draws upon the experience and wisdom of 1872 Society members to advise on its intentions for the future.
We very much hope that you will wish to become a member of this exclusive and very special donors’ society. Contact us by telephone or email us with your decision to make a bequest for Aber and you will be automatically enrolled in the 1872 Society.
