Why Give to Arcadia

From our founding as Beaver College in 1853 to the present day, Arcadia University continues a remarkable journey as a leading institution in study abroad amid a rapidly changing competitive environment of higher education.

Since 1853, the Arcadia community has been built on the values of fearlessness, intellectual freedom, integrity, and respect, empowering generations of students to dream big and to achieve more than they ever thought possible.

A gift plan can provide you substantial tax benefits, especially when you give stock or real estate. Depending on your situation, you may save income taxes, capital gains taxes, probate expenses, and estate taxes.

One of Arcadia’s most prestigious giving societies, the Covenant Society, honors the generosity of alumni and friends who fund charitable planned gifts.

Arcadia University is grateful for the support provided by donors who have made planned gifts to our Institution. Through their generosity, these individuals have demonstrated their commitment to the future of Arcadia through gifts that have created meaningful legacies. Here are some of their stories.
