Giving

Welcome from the Advancement Office

Warm Greetings from the Benet Academy Advancement Office
We are deeply grateful for the continued generosity of our Benet community. Your gifts make it possible for us to nurture bright minds, strengthen our students’ faith and inspire tomorrow’s leaders.

Through the One Benet Fund—our annual giving—we are introducing new ways to recognize and celebrate your generosity, highlighting the collective impact of gifts that unite us all. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps our students thrive academically, spiritually, artistically, and athletically.

There are also many ways to give in addition to the One Benet Fund, including campus initiatives and planned gifts, allowing you to make a lasting difference in the lives of our students.

We are deeply grateful for your partnership and belief in the transformative power of a Benet education.

With sincere appreciation,

Gregory J. Girsch ‘96
Vice President of Advancement
