Consecutive Giving Society
The Loyola Consecutive Giving Society recognizes donors who invest in Loyola University Maryland for three or more consecutive fiscal years. Every gift matters, so gifts of any size qualify you for recognition in the society.
Membership in the Loyola Consecutive Giving Society is more than a reflection of a belief in the mission of Loyola. It’s an investment in a transformative education, and your gifts help to preserve the most precious parts of Loyola that we love.
How to join:
- Make a gift of any size, to any designation, for at least three consecutive fiscal years (June 1-May 31)
- Maintain your recognition by giving every fiscal year
Each year, Consecutive Giving Society donors are mailed a magnet as a small token of our appreciation and recognition. This year's magnet mailed to consecutive donors (FY22-24 and before) features Donnelly Science Center, which is currently undergoing an update and renovation.
Legacy Society
The Legacy Society was established in 1983 to honor the generosity of alumni, parents, and friends who have named Loyola as the ultimate beneficiary of a gift through their estate plans. Planned giving is a vote of confidence in Loyola’s ability to sustain its rich tradition of achievement and a sign of support for the many generations of students who will discover Loyola in years to come.
Jeannine and I have both benefited from scholarships. We have found harmony and success, and we want to pay it forward. Our hope is that this tradition continues in the future. If you can change one person’s life by helping to fund their college education, do it."
Learn more about planned giving or contact Mary Lineburger, '99, assistant vice president - major gifts, at mlmazzuca@loyola.edu or 410-617-2797.
