Foundation Board
The Bishop Miege Foundation plays an important role in supporting the long-term strength and success of our school. Through responsible financial stewardship and philanthropic support, the Foundation helps create opportunities for students, invest in school improvements, and strengthen the future of the Miege community.
The Bishop Miege Foundation was formed as a separate 501(c)(3) in 1992 to serve as a financial advisory group. Today, its purpose has grown to benefit Bishop Miege by raising and managing money for school improvements and scholarships, including the Bridge to the Future. Most recently, the Foundation Board reached its goal of raising $25 million for the endowed scholarship program, marking another significant milestone in the Foundation’s history. Three decades of vision, generosity, and investment have made a lasting impact on Bishop Miege and its future.
