Parent and Family Philanthropic Council
The Parent and Family Philanthropic Council is a dedicated community of St. Thomas families who are passionate about advancing the mission of St. Thomas for their students and future Tommies.
Council members receive invitations to special events featuring key university leaders, where they have the opportunity to socialize and build relationships with fellow Tommie families. All members have made a significant financial commitment to St. Thomas.
Last year, 846 parent households donated gifts of all sizes, totaling nearly $2.5M to support current and future Tommies.
Thank you to all our current Parent and Family Philanthropic Council members. We greatly appreciate your support of St. Thomas and our students.

Class of 2024 Capstone Gift
Our Tommie parents and families have a long tradition of supporting the success of our students. It is because of this support from our parents and families over the last 100+ years that the student experience at St. Thomas is so impactful and life-changing.
As your student prepares for their graduation, we ask you to consider making a capstone gift – a gift in honor of your graduating student. Your student has benefitted from this kind of generosity as a Tommies and we hope you will pass along this opportunity to the next generation!
To explore opportunities for making a capstone gift with an even greater impact, please contact Chris Fahey directly at chris.fahey@stthomas.edu or 651-962-6897.

Tommie Parents Make Robotics Lab a Reality
With the Schoenecker Center officially open, it offers a state-of-the-art robotics laboratory thanks to the generosity Foundation 94, established by St. Thomas parents Angelena and Henry Blattner. This facility provides students with hands-on robotics research and lab experiences that are foundational to engineering education. Thank you to the Blattners for making this lasting impact on St. Thomas students!
St. Thomas already boasts impressive Engineering facilities; we are pleased to be able to donate to the new Schoenecker Center and for the opportunities it will provide to current and future Tommies.
