Capital Campaign

Ignite logo
Bishop Blanchet’s vision emphasizes holistic growth through a balanced program integrating academics, athletics, arts, activities, and faith development. Central to this mission is fostering a sense of belonging for students, families, alumni, faculty, and staff.

To build on this legacy, Bishop Blanchet has launched the Ignite: Lighting the Path Forward Capital Campaign, a multi-year, multi-million-dollar initiative currently in its leadership phase. The campaign seeks transformative gifts of $100,000 to $4,000,000 to support critical infrastructure, enhance educational opportunities, and ensure long-term sustainability.
