Planned Giving

When you include the University of St. Thomas in your estate plans, you're making a lasting investment in the future.

Yes, you really CAN make a difference

Many alumni and friends of St. Thomas find that they can make a bigger impact on the lives of future Tommies than they ever thought possible. They do this by including a gift in their will.  

You don’t have to be wealthy to make a transformational gift. Did you know that you can save for retirement and support St. Thomas? Make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime? Use your future gift to set up a scholarship or benefit a particular program? 

Our Office of Planned Giving can help you find smart options that go beyond traditionally giving cash. We will partner with you and your trusted advisors to find solutions that both meet your financial goals and maximize the impact you wish to have at St. Thomas.
