In 1891, Anthony J. Drexel established Drexel University with an extraordinary gift, unleashing the transformative power of education for students and for the people and communities they would serve in their professions.

Today, the world needs Drexel University more than ever – and we need leaders to support our important mission and boundless potential.

The Anthony J. Drexel Society recognizes donors who contribute $1,000 or more to any area of the University during an academic year.

When you invest in Drexel at the Society level, you uphold our founder’s and our current leadership’s vision for immersive experiential learning, solving urgent problems and engaging with Philadelphia, our country and the world. You provide our students with resources that empower their lifelong growth and impact.

The Anthony J. Drexel Society is truly a community, one that has grown up around two important ideals - higher education that serves society, and philanthropy that has the ability to change lives.

- President John Fry

With your continued commitment to student success, teaching, research and civic engagement, Drexel has immense potential to grow and innovate as a great urban research university like no other.

Help us increase Drexel’s breadth and impact – and build your legacy, year after year
