With tens of thousands of alumni across the nation and the globe, the Gustie community excels in maintaining a deep connection to Gustavus’s core values.

Gift Planning
Making a planned gift is a wonderful way to show your support and appreciation for Gustavus Adolphus College and its mission while accommodating your own personal, financial, estate-planning, and philanthropic goals. With smart planning, you may actually increase the size of your estate and/or reduce the tax burden on your heirs. Just as important, you will know that you have made a meaningful contribution to Gustavus.
