Giving to Saint Ben’s
—
There really is no greater return on investment than giving to create leaders – women empowered with broad-based education and timeless Benedictine values.

MAKING YOUR IMPACT
There are many ways to give
—
The important part is to make the decision to make a gift to Saint Ben’s and support the academic journeys of tomorrow’s Bennies! Once you’ve done that, there are soooo many ways to make it happen – no matter your season or situation. From easy, automatic Saint Ben’s Sustainers gifts, all the way up to a carefully considered Legacy Gift in your estate plan.




Changing lives?
Let’s change the world!
The opportunities in a Saint Ben’s education can light the path toward a student’s unique direction. Beyond that though, the lifelong earning power of a Saint Ben’s degree can change paths for whole families. Beyond that, when women get the chance to become Bennies, they grow into the leaders, the entrepreneurs, the impacters and the economic drivers who change entire communities. Help us support them and, together, we can change the world.
Impact in Action
—
Alma Rodriguez ’25 fell in love with Saint Ben’s the moment she stepped on campus. As a first-generation college student, however, she had questions about how she would afford college.
“After I actually learned what I received, I couldn’t believe it,” she said. Scholarship support – made possible by gifts from Saint Ben’s alumnae and friends – made her college journey possible. “If I hadn’t received all of the financial aid I had received, I don’t think I would have gotten past my first year of college.”
