Be a founder of our future
We’re setting out to build A Bolder Bonaventure for generations to come. This past fall, St. Bonaventure launched the largest campaign in its history. Comprehensive in scope, the campaign — named A Bolder Bonaventure: Ignite. Inspire. Invest. — seeks to raise $125 million by May 31, 2025. As of Dec. 1, 2022, more than $87.3 million has been raised. Our goal? Make sure the university is equipped to navigate a lifetime of change and uncertainty, manifesting its true potential. It’s a future we can’t begin to create without YOU!
Plans include the creation of a state-of-the-art broadcast production suite and a newsroom of the future for the Jandoli School of Communication.
Your campaign gift will help build A Bolder Bonaventure by:
- Broadening the health care learning environment within the popular Dennis R. DePerro School of Health Professions.
- Transforming St. Bonaventure’s athletics facilities and ensuring a strongly competitive Division I experience for every student-athlete.
- Modernizing facilities and enhancing technology within the Jandoli School of Communication.
- Ensuring an intellectual journey that explores a larger context for our students’ personal, professional and civic lives through academic mission and student experience.
- Delivering a transformational Franciscan experience for every member of the community through Franciscan mission and ministries.
- Boosting The Bonaventure Fund, which provides financial aid and makes possible St. Bonaventure’s unique brand of Franciscan higher education.

Athletics is at the forefront of the campaign, with a nearly 10,000-square-foot Athletics Performance Center planned. It will include space that is five times the size of the current weight room facility, allowing space for several teams to train at the same time using state-of-the-art equipment. Also planned is a turf field with air-supported structure, more commonly known as a “bubble.” With a field large enough to accommodate Bona’s Division I sports, as well as rugby, the planned facility will bring Bonnies teams out of the harsh Western New York winter elements and allow for year-round training.
