Donor Recognition
In our donors, we find the crossroad where generosity meets excellence and hope meets promise. Their stories are inspiring.
Our recognition societies honor and celebrate these generous men and women whose gifts of treasure ensure that we will always have a university fit for Lions to roam. We hope you will join our family of faithful supporters.

The Founders Society
Fidelity is the essence of thoughtful leadership. It is only when we have faith in a mission that we are able to serve as torchbearers for others. The Founders Society honors the visionary generosity of those individuals and corporations whose cumulative lifetime gifts to Saint Leo University total $1,000,000 or more.
