Financial Impact

Transform the Financial Footing of Our School

For Bishop’s to remain the school we treasure, we must create a stronger financial foundation that will sustain its present and future. At the moment, improvements and innovation depend largely on tuition, which cannot increase beyond reasonable limits each year.

A Powerful Culture of Giving

To execute ground-breaking change, we seek to inspire our Bishop’s community toward greater investment in two areas.

Immediate Elevation: The Bishop’s Fund

With gifts of all sizes, we demonstrate the power of our participation. A crucial goal of this campaign is to increase the number of alumni, parents, grandparents and friends who give to The Bishop’s Fund consistently, year by year. Every gift has a major impact, because we give collectively.

Long-Term Influence: The Endowment

When you make an endowment gift, you establish a permanent source of revenue for the program you care about most, or for the School in general. Bishop’s has a very modest endowment, considering the size and caliber of its programs. We will dramatically increase endowed funds through this campaign.

Doug Arthur

“Our annual supporters have grown the intentional culture of philanthropy here at The Bishop’s School over many generations. It is with deep gratitude that we invite you, in this campaign, to consider increasing your support. Our highest aim is to finish this endeavor with more of us actively engaged in Bishop’s financial future.”

– Doug Arthur ’99; P ’30, ’32; President, Board of Trustees; Campaign Co-Chair
