Giving

Bosque School Endowment

As a young institution, Bosque School is still growing its endowment levels to match peer schools.  A strong endowment is critical to the long-term sustainability of the school. Gifts to the endowment help support these long-term efforts and also increase Bosque School’s prestige in national rankings. 

At Bosque School, many generous donors have established endowed funds to support key aspects of our mission. For more information on contributing to one of these endowments or establishing an endowment fund in honor of, or in memory of, a friend or loved one, contact the Development Department at (505) 898-6388.
