Class of 1962 Reunion Giving

Entropy always requires personal decisions, but the university clearly deserves your consideration, given the rising costs of scholarship aid, faculty development, and facilities improvement. It is useful to recall that, like so many institutions founded in the Catholic tradition, Saint Mary’s no longer enjoys the significant material support represented by the contributed services of the large number of vowed religious assigned to the administrative faculty and staff support positions.

A generous gift (perhaps over and above your usual donation) could prove an appropriate way to celebrate this 60th Jubilee. Please consider one of the following options:

  • Our class graduated on the 50th anniversary of Saint Mary's College so a $50 donation might be in order. Also, we are celebrating the 60th anniversary  of our graduation, so maybe you can give a $60 donation. Or, go all the way and send $110 in honor of both of these milestones! You can make your gift by scrolling to the form below,
  • At our stage of life, another option is to consider adding Saint Mary’s to your estate plans. A handful of our classmates and I have done so already, and by letting Saint Mary’s know of our plans, we have become members of the Saint Mary’s Legacy Society, which recognizes donors during their lifetime for gifts that will come after. Not to mention, those dollars get counted in our Class Giving Total! If you are interested in this option, please call the Saint Mary’s Advancement Office at (507) 457-1667.

Make a Gift

Use the form below to submit your Class gift.  Simply choose a preset amount, or choose a custom amount by selecting "Other" and typing in the amount you wish to submit. Additional payment options will then follow.  You can make a simple, one-time gift to the Saint Mary's Fund; or learn about other gift options -- that all still count towards your class gift total -- and that may be more in line with your charitable giving preferences:

  • In addition to the primary annual fund, The Saint Mary's Fund, there are a number of initiatives to support at Saint Mary's. 
  • A Pledge is a gift that can be made today, but you can schedule payments over a time period of up to 5 years. The total Pledge counts towards goal.
  • A Recurring gift is where you can set up an ongoing payment schedule that is convenient for you. Payments are automatically deducted going forward, or until you contact the Saint Mary's Advancement Office to make a change. 
  • For those 70 years or older, you may be among those who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) on an annual basis. You can donate your RMD to Saint Mary's (a certified 501 C 3), collecting both the charitable tax deduction and reducing your taxable income. 
  • If you have Saint Mary's in your estate plans, or are thinking of doing so, Planned or Bequest gifts also count towards Reunion and Class Gift goals. Contact our Planned Gift Officer for further details about this option.
  • You can find all the ways to make a gift on the Saint Mary's Ways To Give web page.

Thank you for supporting your alma mater and future generations of alumni like you!
