Brooklyn Friends School Alumni Giving Day 2025
BFS Alumni Giving Day has closed but if you want to make your gift, visit our website!
What is the Fund for Brooklyn Friends?
The Fund for Brooklyn Friends School is our annual fundraising effort conducted between July 1 and June 30 to raise vital financial support for our entire community. All donations to the Fund for Brooklyn Friends School are fully tax deductible.
Why do gifts from BFS alumni matter?
When alumni give, it sends a message: that BFS is a place worth investing in, that our shared experiences mattered, and that we believe in building a strong, inclusive future for this community. Alumni participation also strengthens the school’s case for outside funding because foundations and donors often look at alumni engagement as a sign of a thriving, supported institution.
What do gifts to the Fund for Brooklyn Friends support?
Gifts to the Fund for Brooklyn Friends support the people, programs, and places at the heart of our school. Your gifts help make the BFS experience possible for all of our students by supporting our dedicated colleagues, our engaging curriculum, our commitment to social justice and diversity, equity, and belonging; tuition assistance, educational technology and equipment, arts and athletics at all grade levels, sustainability initiatives, and facility maintenance. We are grateful for all contributions and we strive for 100% participation from our community every year.
