The Bishop’s Fund
Join the Leading Edge of Our Campaign
As we move to implement the Strategic Plan, The Bishop’s Fund is our frontline financial strategy. A larger, stronger Fund will enable Bishop’s to make faster progress toward new objectives, while continuing to uphold the current excellence of every student’s experience — year after year.
Expanded Participation
In this campaign, we seek to inspire a dramatic rise in participation rates from all who love Bishop’s. Together, we’re grateful for the values, opportunities and friendships that define our School. Now we translate our goodwill into thousands of gifts of all sizes — a community gift with huge impact.
Ambitious Generosity
Likewise, we seek to inspire every Knight to place Bishop’s among their top philanthropic priorities and to give as generously as they are able. This means something different for every person. What matters is that we begin to think boldly about how we influence Bishop’s future.
Our Collective Impact
We call The Bishop’s Fund our “engine of excellence” for a reason. Every year, it fuels exceptional opportunities and programs like these:
- Classes in Applied Economics, Music Theory, Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision, Costume Design and Construction and more
- Mentorship from caring teachers who are experts in adolescent learning
- Competitive Knights Athletics with 18 interscholastic sports and 70+ teams
- Advisories, class retreats, chapel and other avenues to discern a greater purpose
- Arts that encompass dance and acting, choirs and bands, ceramics and digital media, and much more
- Guest speakers, co-curricular activities and other Global Education programs
