The non-profit Bishop Kelly Foundation was created more than 35 years ago to support the values and objectives of Bishop Kelly High School. The Foundation's principal goal has been to provide funding — for scholarships, operations, and capital improvements — that will keep Bishop Kelly's standards and quality at the highest level.

This year, the Foundation provided more than $430,000 to support the school. These funds were derived from the proceeds of the Foundation's annual fundraiser, the Winner's Choice dinner and auction, and from income received from the endowment fund, which currently stands at more than $7,000,000.  In addition, the Foundation will provide over $220,000 in need-based financial aid to students at Bishop Kelly.  This aid comes from gifts and memorials to our various scholarship funds, income from endowed scholarships, and from donations made during the Reverse Auction portion of the Winner’s Choice Auction.

The sole beneficiary of the Bishop Kelly Foundation is Bishop Kelly High School. By contributing to the Bishop Kelly Foundation, you are directly benefiting the school.


The Needs of Bishop Kelly High School

Like any fast growing institution that is committed to maintaining the highest standards, Bishop Kelly High School has many needs both short and long term:

• Additional scholarship funds for students in need 

• Additional operating fund to minimize tuition increases
• Continuing investment in technology
• Capital expansion and improvements, i.e. a student   commons, improved performing arts area, rennovated students services area and other needs identified in the strategic plan
 

Over the past several years, with the assistance of the Bishop Kelly Foundation and in close cooperation with the Bishop Kelly Board of Directors, eight new classrooms were completed, a new computer lab was created, the cafeteria was expanded, critical re-roofing work was done, major technology upgrades were accomplished.  With a generous gift from long time supporters, John and Joan Carley, and with the help of the Joe and Kathryn Albertson Foundation, a new gymnasium, the Carley Center, became a welcome addition to the campus. 

The Foundation is also a partner with the Bishop Kelly Development Office in the Capital Campaign, which has raised over $8.7 million to date.  This has increased the value of the endowment, and has also allowed the school to undergo a massive renovation:  The remodeling of 20 classrooms, two laboratories, an art studio and all adjoining areas including floors, ceilings, bathrooms, lockers, electrical upgrades, air conditioning, new bleachers, and a new parking lot/entry area with an alumni plaza for the students' use.  Under current construction is the Student Commons area, which will renovate the front of the school, providing more enclosed space, a multimedia/multiuse room, and a new adminstrative area to better serve our student population.

There is more work to be done, and the Bishop Kelly Foundation stands ready to assist the school with its growing needs. Please consider being a part of Bishop Kelly's future by contributing to the Bishop Kelly Foundation with donations of cash, securities or real property or through endowed scholarships, gifting appreciated assets or other estate planning methods.
