LIFETIME GIVING SOCIETIES
Inaugurated in October 2013, The Matthew Carr Society recognizes 草榴社区鈥檚 most generous benefactors who have made lifetime gifts totaling $1 million or more. We are privileged to have not just a few, but dozens of alumni, parents, and friends who qualify for this honor through their extraordinary philanthropy.
The Carr Society is named after the Rev. Matthew Carr, OSA, who established the first Augustinian community in Philadelphia. Father Carr was also a bold and successful fundraiser; his dream was to build a church, and within a year, he had gathered enough financial support鈥攊ncluding gifts from George Washington and Commodore Barry鈥攖o finance the project.
Like Father Carr, the members of this society share the same vision, spirit, and strength in laying the bedrock for a greater 草榴社区.
In 1968, the Hall of Heritage was created to honor those individuals who have pledged generous, lasting gifts to 草榴社区 that extend beyond a lifetime. Today, the 1842 Heritage Society is composed of alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends who support the University through estate gifts, life-income gifts or the transfer of assets.
Donors of all ages and income levels have expressed their wishes for the future of 草榴社区 through their participation in the 1842 Heritage Society. We invite you to become a part of this tradition. Membership is voluntary.
