Leave a Legacy of Generosity
Our mission to provide tuition-free Jesuit education is only possible with your generosity. A growing number of loyal alumni, parents, and friends are supporting our school in a sustained way by making Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ part of their estate plans. A gift from your estate will go directly to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's Board-designated endowment and have a profound impact on the lives of the young men who walk through our doors.
A planned gift to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ may also provide a tax deduction for your estate, allow you to manage your assets, and meet your financial needs during your lifetime.
There are many ways to make a planned gift to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ, including a bequest in your will or trust, a gift from your retirement account or life insurance policy, establishing a charitable trust, or a donation of property or other valuables. We're happy to assist you as you consider your options, and we encourage you to consult with your financial advisor.

John F. Keenan '47, for whom I had the privilege of working as a law clerk, is an example to me of what a young man launched into the world can do armed with a Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ education. He's led a life of honorable public service, characterized by deep humility and a sense of justice, as well as unending intellectual curiosity. I hope my gift will enable Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ to send more such honorable men into the world.
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ is a welcoming and supportive environment, and I was eager to make sure that I did what I could to make sure that its vital mission - training men for others - continued after I was gone.
The education I received at Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ was outstanding. Like the founding family, I believe strongly in making this transformative, Catholic, Jesuit education available to all regardless of the ability of a family to pay. Beyond the extraordinary experience of those four years, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ certainly contributed to my success.
To help both to repay what I received as well as to give continued support, I am a consistent donor to the Annual Fund. However, to help ensure Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ's success with a larger gift than I would be able to make now, I have included Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ in my estate plan. This gives me peace of mind that the tradition of an excellent tuition-free education will continue after I am gone.
I have always believed that with the success of our alumni, we should strive to have Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ reach a point of financial stability where the endowment could, on its own, sustain the school. I know we will need gifts larger than the Annual Fund to reach this point. Planned giving is a way to do this.
My gift is unrestricted. I feel strongly that Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ should use it as they see best. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ has been a great steward of my donations to date.
On a dreary and rainy day in 1968, I took the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ entrance exam. I remember not expecting to be accepted and being so soaked that I just wanted to get home, which was over an hour away by subway and bus. Even further from my mind were thoughts of a will, with my whole life ahead of me. However God's providence brought me to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ. At Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ I not only received an exceptional academic education, but also an enriching experience that shaped the rest of my life. More important than Latin, French, math, and chemistry, I learned of compassion, social responsibility, and camaraderie that set a standard for me to aspire to in my professional career and family life.
When I approached the point in my life to consider a will, I felt it was important to recognize the impact Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ has had on me. It was time for me to give back and to help Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ continue its mission. I hope my gift to the endowment enables future generations of Regians to further the school's ideals of generosity, compassion, and service to society.
We were honored and very proud when our son Liam, Class of 2018, was accepted to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ and are deeply grateful for what the school has done for our family. When we think of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ, we are amazed at its ability to change the trajectory of the lives of its students. We were inspired to make a planned gift to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ to do our part, in a small way, to ensure the school is able to continue with its mission of forming men for others.
We will forever be indebted to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ and want to do our part to support the school. We decided to make the gift at this particular time as we were updating our wills and incorporated it into our overall estate planning. We view our giving to Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ in two ways: ongoing through donations to the Annual Fund and longer-term through the designation of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ as a beneficiary of a life insurance policy we no longer needed and the planned gift. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ is one of the main focuses of our charitable giving, and structuring this way keeps us close to the school while we make our way to more significant donations.
