The Devereux Giving Societies is named in honor of Nicholas and Mary
Devereux.
In 1855, the couple donated financial resources and their
Allegany farm to establish the site for St. Bonaventure College. In
doing so, they set a precedent and tradition of philanthropy that
continues today and is recognized by the leadership giving society that
bears their name.
