When Saint John Baptist de La Salle founded the Brothers of the Christian Schools, he understood the value of education as a means for an individual to reach his or her potential; to recognize their inherent human dignity, and to create lasting, meaningful social change. 

Our continued commitment to education is our legacy gift–one we continue to live intentionally and one that has influenced education far beyond the Lasallian world. Today, we are all part of this legacy. We continue to pay this gift forward to generations of students.

Much like the legacy that we carry on from Saint De La Salle, your legacy gift is the ultimate expression of trust and confidence in our mission and helps your personal values and beliefs to live on in perpetuity. A planned gift to the Christian Brothers of the Midwest is one of the most significant and lasting contributions you can make to Lasallian Education; it provides the opportunity to focus on long-term strategies that support the potential of all students and the need for education focused on dignity and their lives as a whole. We place ourselves at the heart of the enterprise where we are reminded of these three virtues:

  • Modesty—when we act for the benefit of others rather than ourselves.
  • Endurance—in that education is an act for the future.
  • Trust—of the students and families who place their trust in us every single day.  

We are honored that you would consider joining us in continuing these values by entrusting us with your legacy. 
 

A Lasting Legacy

Our Lasallian mission changes the world through the education of young boys and girls, men and women, from kindergarten through to advanced university degrees.

How Your Gift Helps

Our mission and our work lives on through the lives of our students, Lay partners, and Brothers. There are many ways your gift can help—from special programming through scholarships—but all gifts help in the most worthwhile way possible—the education of young people.
