"Xavier gave us the opportunity to meet each other and build a life together. We give to Xavier because we've benefited from the generosity of others and want to pay it forward for the next generation."
Kyle ('10) and Mallory ('12) Isaack
The 1831 Society
The 1831 Society recognizes alumni, parents and friends whose annual generosity places them among Xavier's most dedicated supporters.
A Tradition of Philanthropic Leadership
Named for Xavier's founding year, the 1831 Society recognizes those whose philanthropy provides essential resources to help sustain Xavier's Jesuit Catholic mission. Individuals and households are recognized as 1831 Society members through annual fund gifts totaling $1,000 or more. Recognition is based solely on philanthropic support - there are no meetings or time commitments.
