OUR ANNUAL FUND
Annual giving is the life blood of every independent school – and the health of a school's Annual Fund demonstrates the loyalty, commitment and spirit of its community as a whole.
Our Challenge: Funding the Daily Fundamentals
$10 million in total operating support to meet the School's annual needs
Over the past ten years at BB&N, annual giving has increased steadily from just over $500,000 to close to $2 million, with participation rising from all segments of the BB&N community. That's very good news – because it tells us that members of the BB&N family, past and present, feel increasingly connected to the mission of the school and committed to its success. This growth in annual giving has been crucial to allowing us to attract and retain the finest faculty possible, to enable talented and deserving students to attend BB&N, and to provide ongoing maintenance of our three campuses.
As we launch the most ambitious comprehensive campaign in BB&N's history, we must ensure that, in our efforts to meet our endowment and capital targets, we never lose sight of the enduring importance of steady and generous annual support to meet the school's day-to-day operating needs.
