Founders' Circle

Founders' Circle

In 1540, three college roommates at the University of Paris founded the Society of Jesus: Ignatius of Loyola, Francis Xavier, and Peter Faber. This was the inception of a Jesuit heritage that lives on till this day.

Today, Loyola University Chicago’s honors those benefactors whose lifelong commitment and unparalleled generosity make it possible for our institution to carry on the work and mission of St. Ignatius of Loyola with inclusion in the University’s Founders’ Circle.

Their generosity is a testament to their dedication to higher education and the Catholic, Jesuit values that we uphold. With their support Loyola provides a transformative education that prepares students to lead meaningful lives, grounded in the values of faith, service, and intellectual inquiry.

Members are recognized at the following levels:

Ignatius Loyola Society $1 million or more
Francis Xavier Society $500,000 - $999,999
Peter Faber Society $100,000 - $499,999

This generous support of Loyola makes a crucial difference in our ability to provide academic excellence to thousands of students.
