Making a Gift: The Deering Society
What is the Deering Society?
Taking its name from the family whose philanthropy in 1933 established the Charles Deering Library, the Deering Society is an annual giving society that recognizes gifts to any area of the Northwestern University Library, with a preference for unrestricted giving.
What does it do for the Northwestern University Library?
Gifts from Deering Society members support such essential areas as the collections, technology and computer equipment upgrades, and services to instruct library patrons.
How does one join the Deering Society?
Charles Deering
We ask members of the Deering Society to give annual gifts at levels ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 and over. Such gifts from an individual or an individual's foundation, for the general support of the Library, will entitle the donor to be listed in the Deering Society in the fiscal year the gift was made.
Donors will be recognized as Deering Society members through an annual donor listing in the annual report sent to all donors and friends of the Library. Members will also be invited to Library-related events and opportunities held with the Charles Deering McCormick Librarian.
