A lasting Tribute with Enduring Impact

Honorary and Memorial Gifts

Honor or remember a loved one by making a gift to the Acton Institute in their name. These meaningful contributions celebrate lives lived with purpose and values aligned with the mission of promoting a free and virtuous society.

Whether commemorating a birthday, anniversary, or the life and legacy of someone who has passed, honorary and memorial gifts are a thoughtful way to support the work of Acton while paying tribute to those who have inspired your generosity.

You may choose to direct gifts toward a specific area of Acton’s work—such as student fellowships, research, or global outreach—or allow your gift to support our greatest needs.
