Who We Are

About SLOB Rugby

The Society of Loyola Old Boys is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit managed by fifteen fiduciary board members dedicated to the long-term success of Loyola University Maryland Rugby.

Stewardship & Fiduciary Standards

A fiduciary manages an asset for the benefit of another — it is the legal duty to act solely in a principal's interest and to avoid any conflict of interest. A fiduciary must conduct their duty "at a higher level than that trodden by the crowd" with the "obligation of undivided loyalty."

The Society of Loyola Old Boys consists of fifteen fiduciary board members committed to the long-term stewardship of your donation.
