The 1851 Society honors those philanthropic leaders with a lifetime commitment of $1 million or more to Saint Joseph’s University.

Members of the 1851 Society foster an enduring partnership through their transformational support, investing in the University’s long-standing Jesuit mission and legacy of exceptional education. They are committed to ensuring that the students of today, as well as tomorrow, experience exemplary intellectual, athletic, artistic and spiritual opportunities.

Saint Joseph’s University traces its origins to the morning of September 15, 1851, when three dozen students gathered in the courtyard outside Saint Joseph’s Church on Willings Alley, near 4th and Walnut Streets, just a few blocks from iconic Independence Hall. That fall morning marked the beginning of a rich and exciting history for Saint Joseph’s.
