Why Become a Monthly Donor?
Monthly donors help us plan ahead and support BU students when they need it the most. Your monthly gift helps pave the path forward and provides a reliable and sustainable source of funding for the university and its biggest asset, its students!
We are a community of passionate, committed and like-minded givers who believe that every BU student should have equal opportunity to thrive! We currently have 220 members and hope this number continues to grow with your support.
IT’S CONVENIENT
After filling out one online form, your gifts will be automatically processed each month for you. Set it and forget it! You will receive one cumulative annual tax receipt at the end of the year.
IT’S AFFORDABLE
Giving monthly breaks down a larger annual donation into smaller installments. Monthly gifts reduce administrative time, processing, and mailing costs for BU, meaning your gift can go further. (It’s environmentally friendly too!).
IT’S FLEXIBLE
You can direct your donations to a specific area that is meaningful for you. You can change the amount of your monthly donation at any time by contacting our team.
What Our Monthly Donors Have to Say
“Donating monthly has become a seamless and convenient way to give back to a couple of programs at Bishop’s that made a material impact on my university experience. It’s truly been gratifying to pay it forward. The monthly contributions keep me connected to BU and the goings on throughout campus, while also keeping tabs on what’s happening throughout our great alumni network. Bishop’s is such a unique place and doing what we can to preserve the qualities that make it so distinct is part of what makes us all Gaiters. Raise A Toast!”

“My Bishop’s student experience was exceptional. My time at Bishop’s as an employee has been and continues to be equally as exceptional. I am fortunate to be able to walk around our beautiful campus daily and see the same excitement and passion on our students’ faces that I also felt during my time at BU. It only makes sense that I would give back to the institution that continues to give to me, and the easiest way to do that is through payroll deductions. My donation is deducted directly from my pay, and at the end of the year the charitable donation credit that I can claim on my income tax is already included on my work tax forms. It’s a win-win!”

“Ronna and I transitioned to monthly giving many years ago. We wanted to increase our annual donations without having to wrestle with the timing issue. Monthly giving provided an easy way to increase the annual amount without feeling the squeeze of a one-time cash management decision. We both benefited during our years at BU through scholarships, as a direct result of donations, and we wanted to give back. We continue to see many life-long friends from Bishop’s and participate in many alumni events. It is a family and institution that “keeps on giving”. Raise a toast!”
– Bob ’80 and Ronna ’82 Egan
