Named after our founder who began the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies in 1968, the Elizabeth Paepcke Society honors those friends who have generously chosen to provide financial support to ACES through planned gifts or bequest intentions. The Society carries the name of our founder to signal the importance of those who have made provision for long-term support of ACES by making gifts that will extend beyond their lifetimes.

Membership in the Elizabeth Paepcke Society is open to all those who have confirmed outright bequest provisions for ACES, or make or have made a planned gift.

Donors interested in discussing a planned gift to ACES should contact ACES Director Tom Cardamone at 970-925-5756 or tcardamone@aspennature.org.
