Fulfilling the university’s mission of advancing the common good takes all of us. It takes talent, passion and dedication. Most important, it takes your philanthropic leadership.
The President’s Leadership Giving Society recognizes those who make exemplary annual gifts of $1,000 or more to the University of St. Thomas.
Giving Circles
The society’s seven giving circles, each named for a leader who played a vital role in shaping St. Thomas, acknowledge members’ significant investments in the university and their roles in making a transformative St. Thomas education possible.
All members are listed in the university’s Honor Roll of Donors by giving-circle level, receive news about St. Thomas happenings, and are offered priority access in purchasing tickets to the renowned St. Thomas Christmas Concert.
Members at the President’s Circle ($2,500) level and above receive the aforementioned, plus invitations to exclusive President’s Circle events and programs, complimentary tickets to the Christmas Concert and other special opportunities.
In recognition of the critical importance of young alumni in leadership giving, recent undergraduate alumni can be part of the President’s Circle ($2,500) level at alternative giving levels:
Membership in the President’s Leadership Giving Society is based on dollars received during St. Thomas’ fiscal year (July 1-June 30).
Gifts to any area of the university qualify. They can include pledge payments, cash, matching gifts, gifts through consortiums (such as the United Way) and stock.
For donors who choose to be Sustainers (making monthly, recurring gifts on a credit card or from a bank account), total dollars contributed over the course of the St. Thomas fiscal year (July 1-June 30) are counted.
