La Verna Society

Alverno offers our sincerest appreciation to our planned giving donors. Your thoughtful generosity has a profound effect on the lives of Alverno's students.

The La Verna Society was created to honor and recognize donors who support Alverno College through a planned gift — a bequest in your will, beneficiary designation or other options.
