The Shaw Society
rooted in tradition, securing the future
The Shaw Society has a new look—and is looking for new members.
The society welcomes all who make legacy gifts to Boston College and is named in honor of Joseph Coolidge Shaw, S.J., who helped found the University through his bequest of books and the proceeds of his life insurance policy.

One of Fr. Shaw’s beloved books graces the new Shaw logo. But the Shaw Society is as much about the future as it is about evoking BC tradition. Legacy giving donors make a sound investment in the University and help ensure that BC will flourish for generations to come. No other gift allows donors to touch BC’s future in quite the same way.
Members receive special recognition within the University and additional benefits that include invitations to exclusive events and updates on the latest BC giving news. Join the Shaw Society today—and help write the next chapter in BC’s success.
