The opportunity to make a significant commitment to the uniqueness of the St. John’s University experience as reflected in our Vincentian mission and values resonates strongly for many of our alumni and friends. For a select few, membership in The Founders Society, reserved exclusively for donors who have made gifts totaling $1 million or more to the University, represents the culmination of a lifetime of generosity that goes well beyond the norm.
