Anna Nitschmann Society

The Anna Nitschmann Society is named in honor of one of America’s first philanthropists, Anna Nitschmann. Anna understood the importance of education for all and was instrumental in raising funds to establish the Girls' School that would become Moravian University. Anna was a pioneer for women philanthropists, and like her, the society aims to be the nascent group for women philanthropists at the University. Anna worked tirelessly to ensure Moravian women were afforded a superior education at a time when many women had limited opportunities. Local indigenous women were even educated in early Bethlehem. Anna inspired, educated, and brought together all women for the betterment of her community, and the mission of the Anna Nitschmann Society is to do the same today.
