Three Oaks Legacy Society

The Three Oaks Legacy Society was created to honor those who establish a legacy at the University of St. Francis. through wills, estates, and other planned giving. These legacy gifts, often the largest to the University, offer financial stability and ensure that countless students will benefit from the gift for years to come.

If you have included the University of St. Francis in your estate plans, or are interested in doing so, we would be grateful to know of your intentions. This will provide the University the opportunity to thank you in person and to engage in strategic financial planning.
