Benjamin Franklin Educational Foundation
Ways to Get Involved
There are many ways to donate and support the school. See how others do their part, and find the ways that are best for you to be a part of our community.
Making an outright one-time or recurring monthy gift to the Foundation allows your donation to be put directly to use to help students. A gift by credit card is the most common and convenient method of donating and can be done right on this website!
If you would like to donate securities or crypto or would like to make a wire transfer, please contact us.
Gifts in memory or in honor of a loved one or friend are wonderful ways to pay tribute to the special people in your life. Each tribute gift is acknowledged to the honored individual or next of kin.
Planned Giving
A gift can be mentioned in a trust, will, or other gift-planning vehicle as an excellent way of supporting the Foundation and helping to ensure the long-term sustainability of the school, while having tax advantages as well for the donor. Contact us today to learn more about making a legacy gift.
Corporate Matching Gifts
If your employer has a matching gift program, you can double or even triple the amount of your donation. Check with your Human Resources or Charitable Giving/Social Responsibility Department to see if your company has this program, and if so, simply enclose their matching gift form with your donation to the Foundation.
In-Kind Donations
The Foundation accepts donations for live and silent auction items for events such as hotel stays, restaurant gift cards, golf foursomes, artwork, tickets/passes to museums, concerts, and sporting events, and trips abroad. Contact us today if you would like to make a donation info@bfefoundation.org
Donor Advised Funds
A donor-advised fund is a type of giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support your favorite charities. A donor-advised fund is a flexible, strategic giving vehicle available to any donor who is able to meet the minimum initial contribution requirement.
Social Fundraising
Use your social media platforms to spread the word about the Foundation and help raise more funds!
