An Invitation from Alice von Hildebrand
Written 2019
Dear Friends,
In 2004, I helped found the Hildebrand Project to carry on my life’s work: the promotion of my husband Dietrich von Hildebrand’s thought and witness.
For over seven decades, I have seen people from all walks of life transformed by his works. They are drawn by his ardent love and contagious zeal for truth and beauty.
At this stage of my life, I am eager to help secure the future of my husband’s legacy through the Hildebrand Project.
Would you please consider joining me by making a planned gift to ensure that the Hildebrand Project’s witness to truth has a bright future?
With deep gratitude,
Leave a Legacy
