Welcome to the Office of Gift Planning’s website—your up-to-date
estate planning resource to ensure both St. John's future and your
own. We have provided helpful tools to explain your giving
options, which can help save you money and leave a legacy for
future generations.
St. Vincent de Paul, founder of the Congregation of the Mission,
understood the underserved and sought to meet their needs both
physically and spiritually. St. John’s University, in the
Vincentian tradition continues the same mission; our students
matter and we seek to give them a quality education that will
propel them towards successful careers and lives. You can
help ensure the future of St. John’s mission and students by
including the University in your estate plan.
Already made a planned gift to St.
John’s?
If you’ve already included St. John’s in your estate plan, we would
like to personally thank you and invite you to join the McCallen Society, our planned giving
society.
If you have any questions, I encourage you to consult your
financial advisor and contact Susan Damiani, Director of Gift
Planning at (718) 990-7562 or e-mail damianis@stjohns.edu
