The Providentia Society honors the contributions of Providence College women of the past 50 years. It empowers and encourages alumnae and their supporters to advocate for issues that elevate and amplify women’s voices through collective giving.
Members of the Society inspire others to serve as philanthropists, engage with each other, and strengthen their connection with Providence College.
An annual contribution of $1,917 or above to the Providentia Endowed Fund provides an invitation for membership into the Providentia Society.
Yearly renewal of membership is required to be recognized as an active member of the Providentia Society.
