Bapst Circle — $2,500 to $4,999
Named for 波士顿 College’s first president, 约翰Bapst, SJ, the Bapst Circle honors BC donors who help generate growth. Father Bapst inherited some $150,000 in debt an unimaginable sum in 1863 when he assumed the seat of president. Launching the first-ever capital fundraising campaign, Father Bapst eliminated nearly half the debt, within a year and set BC on a trajectory to grow and flourish.
Bapst Circle donors drive growth. With an annual gift of $2,500 to $4,999, donors join the Bapst Circle to take the next steps in their journey of philanthropic impact and engagement with BC.
