The Loyalty Circle
The College of Saint Rose has established a special giving society - the Loyalty Circle - which recognizes donors who have made gifts to the College for five, ten, and twenty consecutive years. Gifts to Saint Rose each year is deeply appreciated and many of our alumni understand of the importance of ongoing philanthropy. As a result of generosity from our Saint Rose family who value and invest in its mission every year, we can continue to provide a world-class education to our many deserving students. Each donor to The Loyalty Circle will be listed as a member of the Loyalty Circle in the Annual Donor Report.
