The Brown $500,000 Challenge Grant
|
| |
Dear
Friends,
For
twenty years, our library has played an integral role in the lives
of countless students and scores of faculty. It truly is the centerpiece
of a creative and vital academic community.
We
hope you will join us and support the library and its ongoing mission.
We believe so strongly on the future of the library that we have
pledged to match gifts to the library, up to $400,000.
Please
join the friends of the library today. Your support will make an
immediate difference.
Thank you,
|

Roger and Nancy Brown
Terms
and Benefits of the Challenge Grant
History Professor Emeritus Roger
Brown and his wife Nancy have made a $500,000 challenge gift to
the library. They have already contributed $100,000 and have agreed
to match all gifts to the library, dollar for dollar, to
a maximum of $400,000.
Your gift entitles you to membership
in AU's Friends of the Library, with special benefits, periodic
updates on the library and special "Friends" events.
The Brown Challenge Grant can be
used to move your membership to the next higher level. (e.g. a
$150 gift, with the challenge grant, entitles you to membership
at the patron level).

Margaret
Anthon, wife of late Professor Emeritus Carl Anthon,

preservation of library collections. This gift celebrates the contributions
of both Professors Anthon and Brown who were collegues in the American
University History Department and avid library supporters.

Library with contributions ranging from $10,000 to $10.
