Planned Giving
Leave a Legacy of Faith, Formation, and Service
For more than sixty years, Aquinas College has served the Church by forming teachers, religious sisters, seminarians, catechists, and lay faithful in the pursuit of Truth. This mission continues today because of the generosity and foresight of benefactors who choose to invest in the future of Catholic education and formation.
A planned gift allows you to make a lasting impact on the mission of Aquinas College while also helping you meet your personal, financial, and philanthropic goals. Through thoughtful planning, you can help ensure that future generations will benefit from the intellectual, spiritual, and professional formation that has long been a hallmark of Aquinas College.
Why Consider a Planned Gift?
A planned gift is an opportunity to extend your commitment to Aquinas College beyond your lifetime and become part of a legacy that will shape the future of the Church.
Your gift may help:
- Form future Dominican Sisters for the teaching apostolate.
- Support seminarians preparing for priestly ministry.
- Strengthen the formation of teachers, catechists, and lay leaders.
- Sustain Catholic education and evangelization for future generations.
- Provide long-term resources that support the mission of Aquinas College.
Ways to Leave a Legacy
Many benefactors choose to support Aquinas College through one or more of the following:
- A bequest through a will or living trust
- Beneficiary designations for retirement accounts or life insurance policies
- Charitable trusts or other deferred giving arrangements
- Gifts of appreciated assets or real estate
- Other planned giving vehicles developed in consultation with professional advisors
We encourage all donors to seek the guidance of their legal, financial, and tax professionals when considering a planned gift.
