Seton Society

Create a lasting legacy and help put Catholic education within reach for future generations

The Catholic Education Foundation (CEF) is honored to
partner with you to help maximize the impact of your
generosity and further your support for students.

Join the Seton Society

Inspired by the unwavering dedication of Saint Elizabeth
Ann Seton, the first American-born saint and founder of
the first Catholic schools in the United States, CEF’s Seton
Society invites donors to follow in her footsteps by creating
a lasting legacy.

With your gift, you will become part of an amazing group
of individuals who are dedicated to providing Catholic
education for students in need for generations to come.
Legacy, or planned gifts, can be as simple as naming CEF
as a beneficiary in a will, trust, retirement plan or insurance
policy.
