    Patrons<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    In addition to their regular dues we are fortunate to have many members who wish to further support the Society via donation. The AHS seeks to promote the study and use of heraldry via its various educational materials, programs, and events; all of which would not be possible without the kindness of our Society Patrons. There are three levels of Patronage: Azure ($500+); Or ($1,000+); and Ermine ($1,500+). If you would like to join in their support to our organization please contact our President or Treasurer via email. All donations to the American Heraldry Society are tax deductible in accordance with IRS Code 501c3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
