Endowment
Financial Aid Endowment | Faculty Endowment | Program Endowment | Award Endowment | Facilities Endowment
Unless otherwise designated, 100% of all planned gift resources are used to build and support The Bishop’s School Endowment. This allows us to have the necessary resources to strategically meet the financial needs of the School in perpetuity. A strong endowment is essential to the long-term stability of a first-class educational institution and is the cornerstone of success for the country’s finest independent schools. Bishop’s is among the elite secondary educational institutions in the country. Just as generations of alumni and their families, parents, grandparents and friends have contributed to the stability and strength that the School enjoys today, your gift to the endowment will ensure Bishop’s remains among the best.
Endowment provides permanent funding for the financial aid program as well as named endowed faculty chairs, and academic, arts and athletics programs.
Endowment gifts may be designated to facilities (such as the Manchester Library and Learning Center), financial aid program, or faculty support.
To learn more about endowment giving opportunities, please contact John Trifiletti, assistant head of school &
chief advancement officer, at 858.875.0851 or trifilettij@bishops.com.
