The Fund For Brooklyn Friends

Planned Giving at BFS

The 1867 Society, our planned giving society, recognizes the generosity of Brooklyn Friends School alumni, families, grandfamilies and friends who have chosen to remember BFS in their estate plans through a will, trust or other planned gift. If you have already included Brooklyn Friends in your will or as part of another planned gift, we hope you will let us know so that we can recognize and thank you. Please complete the following form to share your intentions with our office.

Endowment Giving

The endowment provides long-term financial sustainability, giving Brooklyn Friends the power to carry out our mission in perpetuity. Gifts to the endowment are permanent assets that allow us to respond to the school’s long-term needs.

Michael Nill Fund for Faculty Development

Creating a Named Endowed Fund

Establish an endowed fund in your name, or in honor or memory of a loved one, to give future generations the opportunity to benefit from a BFS education. Funds can be created during your lifetime, over a period of years, or through a bequest.
