AICGS: SUPPORT : Support AICGS

The United States and the European Union will face important challenges in the coming years in the form of increased economic competition, social and demographic changes, new political leadership, and lingering concerns about energy security and environmental sustainability. Europe and America must work together in order to deal successfully with these issues, and their capacity to do so depends to a large degree on the strength of the German-American partnership.

For 25 years, AICGS has been a trusted source of knowledge, insights and networks that contribute to a strong German-American relationship. We study important, emerging issues that affect both countries and shape the relationship between them, and we share our in-depth analyses of these issues with German and American business and political leaders through our publications and seminar programs. To do this, we rely on the generous financial support of individuals, foundations and corporations who understand and embrace our mission.

AICGS invites you to join with us in that effort, and we are pleased to offer a variety of ways to support our work. These are described below.

Making a planned gift may allow you to give more than you ever thought possible and, at the same time, benefit from tax advantages or income for life. Planned or deferred gift options include bequests, annuities, and trusts. Please contact the AICGS Development Office for more information about this option.

Make a Gift in Honor of, or in Memory of, Another Person
This is an excellent way to recognize individuals for their dedication to German-American partnership. Gifts may be of any size, and both the Donor and the Honoree will be acknowledged on the AICGS website and in certain of the Institute's publications.
