Endowed Funds. For information on establishing a named endowed fund, such as a scholarship or professorship, please contact Arlene Kruize at amfults@stkate.edu or (651) 690-6034. Our Gift Planning Officers would also be happy to assist you.

Physical Installations. Some donors choose to honor or remember loved ones by enhancing the College of St. Catherine’s beautiful grounds with a tree or bench. For information, please contact Arlene Kruize at amfults@stkate.edu or (651) 690-6034.


Recognition

Privacy
