The Board of Directors of the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame has initiated an internal fund drive among Hall of Fame members to create an endowment of $1,000,000. This will serve to ensure perpetuity in the Hall of Fame’s efforts to honor leaders who have made exemplary contributions to our profession. Members of the Hall of Fame who make contributions to the endowment fund or contribute to the annual operating expenses will be recognized by giving level at the annual induction ceremony.
One way both to support the work of the Hall of Fame and to honor an individual’s contribution to adult and continuing education is to make a memorial gift. You may designate a memorial gift either to the Hall of Fame endowment or to general Hall of Fame operations.
How Your Gift Can Help the Hall of Fame
Since 1996, the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame has provided recognition of the world’s innovative leaders in adult and continuing education. We look to Hall of Fame members, educators, and friends for support in bestowing honors upon these outstanding individuals.
As members of a global academic community, your generosity assists us with the financial costs of this esteemed program. The University of Oklahoma has maintained the Hall of Fame’s operation through in-kind staffing and other contributions toward direct costs.

A gift to the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame is a self-perpetuating element in the presentation of legacies in lifelong learning. In perpetuity these legacies never go out of date. In perpetuity these legacies continue to inform and inspire skilled and talented legatees. A gift to the Hall of Fame becomes a part of the trusteeship by those who love the spirit of learning.
Recognition of these tax-deductible contributions by individuals and organizations will be included on our web site and in each year’s program.
