The BCD Fund

The tuition you pay funds most of the BCD educational experience, but not all. This year approximately 6% of the operational budget will be funded by the generosity of the BCD community. Your financial contribution to the BCD Fund supports the people and programs that make BCD the great school that it is: talented teachers, small classes, library and instructional resources, technology advancements, enriching arts and athletics programs. 
 
Could BCD operate on tuition alone? Not without looking significantly different. The School would be less innovative in our approach to education. Essentials like low student-to-teacher ratios, faculty and curriculum development, state-of-the-art technology, a rich arts program, and athletic equipment – all integral components to our rich and robust program would be compromised. Charitable gifts are a necessary part of every independent school’s healthy financial profile.

Ideally, current parents identify BCD as one of their top philanthropic priorities and recognize that their contributions make a significant impact. Gifts to the BCD Fund range from $25 to over $25,000. Every gift ensures that we raise the necessary additional funds for our students above and beyond what tuition covers to support our program, faculty, and facilities. Also, your participation encourages others to give and sends a message to our community that BCD makes a difference. Every gift counts!

Yes please. Even though many families make financial sacrifices to pay their tuition, it is still important for every member of our community to participate in the BCD Fund at some level.

The earlier we receive your gift, the earlier we can put it to work for all our students. We encourage all families to make their pledges by December 31, though payments are accepted until July 31.
