Is my gift tax deductible?
Yes, at 100%. Battle Ground Academy is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and gifts are tax-deductible as allowable by law. Please consult your tax advisor with specific questions.
I already donated to the BGA Fund this year. Is my gift counted?
Yes! I’ve you’ve made a gift to the BGA Fund from July 1 until now, we’ve included your gift in our totals (with more gifts to be uploaded throughout the day). If you have a current child or children enrolled, their class has been credited for participation totals.
Tuition covers operations. What does my gift to the BGA Fund make possible?
Tuition ensures a strong foundation for every student’s journey. It funds our operational needs, from hiring exceptional educators to maintaining our facilities. The BGA Fund, however, is what allows us to Unleash Opportunity for every Wildcat, every day. These foundational expenses absorb all of the tuition revenue. In order to enhance the experience for each student, additional dollars are required. Put most simply:
Tuition = Operations
BGA Fund = Enhances
Capital = Transforms
The BGA Fund is our annual fund, and your opportunity to make an immediate impact each year — empowering faculty, enriching student life, and helping us deliver on our promise to ignite and nurture curiosity, intellect, and character.
Why might I support the BGA Fund?
The BGA Fund is one way that we ensure excellence. BGA relies on annual donations to provide 3.5% of our operating budget, which amounts to $982 per student. The BGA Fund helps to secure innovative curriculum, best-in-class teacher resources, exemplary field trips, enriching and exciting community-building activities for students, cultural activities and celebrations, and much more.
What is the BGA Fund and what does it support?
Like all independent schools, we do not receive federal funding from the government and tuition alone does not cover the true cost of an exceptional BGA education. The BGA Fund is a critical source of non-tuition, tax-deductible revenue and helps the school deliver and enhance programming on all three campuses. The BGA Fund is a chance for every family to invest directly in the daily experience of every student on our three campuses. Every gift matters. Every student benefits. Your gift also gives our school the financial means to attract and retain the best faculty, serve a talented and diverse student body, and enhance state-of-the-art facilities. Additionally, without a robust BGA Fund, costs would have to be passed on in the form of higher tuition.
I cannot afford to make what might be considered a ‘large’ gift. Is my contribution worth it?
Yes! Every gift, no matter the size, has a real impact. Your participation is a voice of support and confidence. Your BGA Fund contribution is a testament to our community’s belief in our mission.
