Ways to Give

Annual Fund and Capital Gifts may be made via cash, check, credit card, or securities. Capital and endowment gifts may also be made through a variety of planned or deferred gifts. All gifts to BB&N are tax deductible, and the External Affairs Office sends a tax receipt for all gifts. BB&N’s Annual Fund year runs from July 1 to April 30, and to be credited as a gift for the fiscal year, payments must be received by June 30 of that year.

Cash

Most contributions to BB&N are made in the form of cash or check. Checks should be made payable to BB&N and sent to: Buckingham Browne & Nichols School, External Affairs Office, 80 Gerry's Landing Road, Cambridge, MA 02138-5512

Credit Cards

BB&N also accepts gifts and pledge payments by VISA and MASTERCARD. Donors are encouraged to use credit cards as a method of making their gift, as it saves the School time and money and no pledge reminders need to be sent. Click here to make a gift using your credit card. Credit card gifts and payments can also be called in to the External Affairs Office at 617-800-2727 with the following information: donor’s name, credit card number and expiration date, mount of gift, and gift designation.

Corporate Matching Gifts

Many gifts to BB&N also qualify for corporate matches. A complete list of the corporations with matching gift programs for secondary schools may be obtained by clicking here. Donors should obtain a matching gift form from their company’s Human Resources Office, and complete and mail the form with their gift or pledge payment to the External Affairs Office. BB&N will certify receipt of the gift and return the form to the company. Most companies do not stipulate that their employees must be alumni/ae or otherwise affiliated with the school to which they are making a gift in order to qualify for a matching gift. Consequently, if your spouse works for a company with a matching gift program, your gift may also be eligible for a match from his/her company.
