Be a leader among Bona's donors

Among the supporters who continue to build and believe in St. Bonaventure is an influential group of men and women, both young and old, who embrace the spirit of giving. They are members of our prestigious giving societies.

As we share the story of our success, there is another story in the making — that of our future. We need you to help St. Bonaventure remain the special place that it is, where students can grow in their moral, intellectual and physical capacities, and where a strong commitment to Franciscan ideals thrives.

You can play a pivotal role in Bona's continued success through your membership in the Devereux Giving Society and the Seraphim Legacy Society.

The Devereux Giving Society is named in honor of Nicholas and Mary Devereux, who established the university’s model for philanthropy in 1855 by donating land and money to help found St. Bonaventure College.

This prestigious giving circle recognizes donors who make gifts of at least $1,000 each fiscal year.

As you deepen your partnership with the university, you will progress through the giving levels and broaden your impact.

The Seraphim Legacy Society honors those individuals who preserve and pass on the St. Bonaventure University promise through deferred or "planned" gifts such as wills, trusts, and other methods.

There are a number of ways to make Bona's a part of your legacy. Many of these options will not only benefit St. Bonaventure, but you will find that they can also provide benefits to you and your loved ones in the form of tax incentives, income in your retirement years or a number of other advantages.
