What is Bainbridge Schools Foundation?

Our organization’s goal is to raise funds to help bridge the gap between what the Bainbridge Island School District receives in state and local funding and what it needs to provide quality education.

How do we raise money?

We raise money through events, online services and direct donations. Here’s a list of our current fundraising channels:

• NEW! Clickathon (October) (virtual online Phonathon)
• One Call For All (Fall)
• Dinner Auction (January 21,2012)
• Breakfast (Spring)
• Escrip (sign up/shop at escrip.com)
• New This Fall! Shop at Amazon.com through the Bainbridge Schools Foundation website.
• Direct donations online, by mail or by phone!

Where does my money go?

• Staff to keep class size at current levels
• Classroom Enrichment Grants
• Training
• K-12 STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)
• Special Education Improvements – Wings Program
• Remedial Reading Assistance

What is the difference between Bainbridge Schools Foundation and my school PTO?

• BSF is the only organization that can fund teacher and staff salaries and training.
• PTO fundraising supports individual school equipment, materials and field trips.
