Welcome to the Saint Francis Society
The Saint Francis Society celebrates a community of donors who have pledged to become partners in a shared vision for the University. Society members believe so strongly in our University and our mission that they commit $1,000 or more annually to support our goals. The Saint
Francis Society honors the traditions of the University’s past while providing a strong foundation for the University’s future.
Your Invitation to Join Us
University President, Fr. Malachi Van Tassell, T.O.R., would like to invite you; our alumni, parents, and friends to join us in creating a shared vision of excellence and service by committing $1,000 or more annually. Gifts of $1,000 or more made during the University’s fiscal
year (July 1 to June 30) qualify you for annual Society membership.
Our hope is to forge new partnerships with those individuals who support the work of the University and want to share in our success and progress. The Saint Francis Society symbolizes that partnership while honoring and recognizing individuals who make annual gifts of $1,000 or
more to support the University’s transformational work with today’s students.
As a thank you for their commitment, The Saint Francis Society offers our most influential donors special invitations to exclusive on- and off-campus University events and communications directly from the President. Additionally, all Society members will receive special
recognition in the annual donor report.
