Giving Communities
When you join one of USF’s giving communities, you become part of a group of donors whose individual and collective impact has transformed the university.
Whether you make an annual gift, invest through our gift planning program, or participate as a parent, USF's giving communities offer a special way to engage more deeply with the university.
Dons Experience
The Dons Experience celebrates USF’s loyal and generous athletics donors who believe in developing leaders in the classroom, on the court, and in the field. Dons Experience annual donors are eligible to receive exclusive experiences.
Support USF’s student-athletes. Contact Brandon Graves, Senior Director, Major Gifts & Associate Athletic Director or make a gift online.
Fr. John Lo Schiavo Legacy Society
The Lo Schiavo Legacy Society honors the example of Fr. John Lo Schiavo, whose inspired leadership at USF spanned more than six decades. In a letter addressing the university's legacy and promise for the future, he wrote, "The need for moral and ethical standards in every sector of modern society has never been more evident." His words still ring true today.
USF celebrates society members who carry on Fr. Lo Sciavo’s legacy of enduring devotion to Jesuit values through education by leaving an estate commitment or life income arrangement to benefit USF. These future gifts often include a gift through a will or trust, charitable trust, establishment of a charitable gift annuity, or beneficiary designation in a retirement plan or other financial account.
Legacy gifts have an enduring effect on USF. They help secure the university’s future and support student scholarships, programs, research, and the endowment.
