Our societies
The Creighton Society
The Edward and Mary Lucretia Creighton Society is Creighton’s most popular donor society, honoring those who have made annual unrestricted contributions of $1,000 or more to the University. These gifts allow us to provide students with scholarships and opportunities like service trips abroad and community service here at home.
The Creighton Society celebrates supporters who make annual gifts at the following levels:
- Magis Circle: $25,000 and higher
- Ignatian Circle: $10,000 – $24,999
- Jesuit Circle: $5,000 – $9,999
- Founders’ Circle: $2,500 – $4,999
- Sustaining Circle: $1,000 – $2,499

The Heritage Society
Creighton wouldn’t be here today were it not for the vision of one extraordinary family.
The Creightons saw the good they could do — in their own lifetime and beyond — bequeathing $200,000 to build a Jesuit university in Omaha. Now, many of our alumni and friends ensure their own legacies by supporting that University. The Heritage Society pays tribute to our alumni and friends who include Creighton in their own estate plans.
Planned giving makes a huge difference. Your generosity serves our students, inspires your peers and fuels Creighton’s future for many years to come.
