Planned Giving

Creative and thoughtful gift planning matters now more than ever.

Whether thinking of your immediate family, or your extended Saint Joseph's College family, creative thought matters in the process of gift planning.

While giving is a personal and meaningful experience, the way in which you give can be equally important. Our goal is to make you aware of all of the relevant options, including gifts that provide you income, such as:

• Charitable Gift Annuities
• Pooled Life Income Fund
• Charitable Trusts

Or other methods that include:

• Bequests
• Real Estate
• Insurance
• Securities
• Personal Property

You may be able to provide for the future of Saint Joseph’s College in ways you may not have been aware of while you accomplish other important personal and financial goals.

Andrew and Helen McSween, Friends of the College

Giving away what God gave them.

Andrew and Helen McSween will always be known as two of the College’s most generous benefactors. In December 1997, the couple announced the most extraordinary planned gift in the history of the College—a Charitable Remainder Trust totaling $2.1 million. Besides naming a wing inside Alfond Hall, the Trust will provide endowed scholarships in each of the Sablone’s siblings’ names for Saint Joseph’s students, as well as endowed funds for Campus Ministry service outreach to the town of Standish, and funds for furthering Sponsorship and Mission Integration at the College.

Speaking of the gift, Mr. McSween said: “Well, God gave it to us, we never expected to have so much.” Saint Joseph’s students and faculty benefit every day in a variety of ways from the McSween legacy.
