STUDENT PHILANTHROPY
Your First Gift. Your First Step
Every Wildcat who walks across that stage got there with more than hard work. Behind them were people, alumni, community members, businesses, and friends, who believed in what Bishop State does and gave to make it possible.
That's what philanthropy is. It's not about writing a check. It is simply the practice of contributing what you can, when you can, to support the institution and the community that is investing in you right now.
Your first gift — whether it's $1, $5, or $20 — does something bigger than the dollar amount suggests. It makes you a giver, and it connects you to every alumni who gave before you.
Make a Class Gift
Join Together. Leave a Legacy. Give $20.27.
We're inviting every current student to join their classmates in a collective gift of $20.27, a number that honors the year Bishop State marks its 100th anniversary and the generation of Wildcats who helped celebrate it.
Together, your class gift becomes a legacy, a permanent contribution that pays it forward to the next student who needs an emergency fund, a scholarship, or simply a reminder that this community has their back.
This isn't about how much you have. It's about showing up for the Wildcat who comes after you, the same way someone showed up for you.
$20.26. Your class. Your legacy. Your mark on 100 years of Bishop State history.
