Giving that Endures

 

 

 The endowments at Bishop McGuinness ensure the school’s long-term financial sustainability and advances its mission. Endowments are composed of gifts and bequests, with the principal kept intact in perpetuity and invested to create a growing source of income. The endowment grows through additional gifts, income and capital appreciation.

 



Gifts to support endowments provide BMCHS with resources to support financial aid; maintain its sprawling, Kernersville campus; and attract, retain and support the finest faculty.
