Donations of Products and Services

Kepler is grateful for the many individuals who have donated books, magazines and property. This has enabled us to build a wonderful astrological library and to use the proceeds from the sale of products and property to help with our continued operations.

Thank you to everyone who helped Kepler build our astrological library:

Friends Society

The Kepler College Founders' Circle was created in May of 1999 and completed in 2001. The Founders' Circle was an honorary society recognizing the contribution and commitment of persons who came together to help lay the foundation of Kepler College and ensured there was sufficient money to develop our program and open our doors. Members of the Founders' Circle contributed at least $25,000 dollars (US) and share their vision with other potential donors by letting their example become a pattern for others to follow.
