Aon Memorial Education Fund

An Enduring Commitment

In the years following that tragic event, friends, family members and business associates from around the world continue to celebrate the lives of and pay tribute to those colleagues through the Aon Book of Remembrance and Legacy website.

Aon Memorial Education Fund

In the aftermath of 9/11, Aon colleagues, clients and friends came together to create the Aon Memorial Education Fund (AMEF) to provide scholarships to the dependent children of Aon employees who perished in the attacks.

AMEF is a testament to Aon’s commitment to supporting the families of its fallen colleagues and ensuring that their legacy endures through education. Since its inception, the fund has issued more than $7.1 million in student assistance to nearly 130 dependents. This support has helped these children pursue their dreams, achieve their educational goals and build futures that honor the memory of their loved ones.

The fund is still active but no longer accepting donations. For questions or more information about AMEF, contact Paige Wiebler.

Projects of Reflection and Remembrance

Aon contributed $1 million to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center. Set on the site of the fallen towers, the museum is a place for contemplation, reflection and remembrance.

Aon is also a significant sponsor of Project Rebirth, a documentary that captures in images and sounds the rebuilding at Ground Zero, where the World Trade Center formerly stood.
