What’s Your Legacy?

December 9, 2021

Canisius University is eternally grateful to those alumni and friends for their foresight and generosity to include Canisius in their estate plans.  Estate commitments received this past year totaled $3.5 million  Such planned gifts help to ensure the strength of the college and its students for generations to come, and forever link a donor’s legacy to Canisius University. 

This year, 16 planned gifts were realized at Canisius.   They included bequest gifts from the estate of James K. Clare ’54 in support of the greatest needs of the college; an estate gift in the name of Stephen A. Przylucki ’40 to the Przlucki Family Scholarship Fund; and gifts from the estate of Maureen B. Degnan MBA ’90 to the Richard J. Wehle School of Business.

Those who indicate bequest intentions or other planned gifts, become members of the Rev. James M. Demske ’47, SJ, Society.   To learn more, contact Mary Ellen Bakowski ’85, MBA ’90 in the Office of Institutional Advancement at @email or at 716-888-2235.
