Bill and Joan Kistner's generous gift of $250,000 will preserve and extend Loyola’s Ignatian heritage through a new endowment that will fund Jesuit scholars in their teaching, research, and programs to amplify their impact.

The Joseph Dunne, S.J., and Raymond Dunne, S.J., Endowed Fund for Ignatian Heritage will honor members of Bill’s family who committed their lives to service through the Jesuit priesthood. The Joseph Dunne, S.J., and Raymond Dunne, S.J., Endowed Fund for Ignatian Heritage will ensure that Loyola continues its legacy of instilling the Ignatian values of humanity and educational excellence in students today and for generations to come.

The Joseph Dunne, S.J., and Raymond Dunne, S.J., Endowed Fund for Ignatian Heritage will strengthen Loyola’s commitment to its founding mission and further cultivate our community's Jesuit spirit. Ramblers will graduate from Loyola prepared to live meaningful lives and act in the service of others.
