Join our Hall of Fame - become a supporting member!

Those who live outside Italy but would still like to belong to the Roman Institute of the Görres Society can now do so by becoming a supporting member, without having to make a permanent commitment. Every sustaining member is inducted into the Hall of Fame.

What do I have to do?

  1. You donate at least 500,- Euro to the RIGG on the general account for donations (see above) or on the account of the foundation (see below).
  2. Each additional donation is added to this basic amount so that you move up in the Hall of Fame....

There are four classes of sustaining members:

  1. Class "BACH": from of 500,- € onwards
  2. Class "LIC": from of 2.000,- € onwards
  3. Class "DOC": from 5.000,- € onwards
  4. Class "HABIL": from 10.000,- € onwards

 For example, if you donate 500,- € annually, you will pass from "baccalaureate" to "licence" in four years, and in another six years you will have your "doctorate". Of course, it can also be done faster.

 

Our foundation:

The "Stiftung zur Förderung des Römischen Instituts der Görres-Gesellschaft" was established in December 2012 and has since grown to a capital of 350,000 euros. In 2020, the foundation moved to the Stiftungszentrum des Erzbistums Köln.
