    For Advisors

    We believe that the best gifts are those that donors can reflect upon years later and feel confident that they made the right decision. Ideally, we partner with our donors and their trusted advisors to find giving options that meet both their financial goals and maximize the impact they wish to have at St. Thomas. 

    Please contact our office if you wish to discuss a particular scenario, or if you have general questions. St. Thomas also offers networking and educational opportunities for advisors through the university’s Family Business Center.
