Make a Gift
Our congregation members and friends are our biggest supporters. They improve the life and health of our church and schools in how they support our mission, services and students, volunteering their time in so many ways and with their financial contributions.
The Bryn Athyn Church is alive with a compelling vision for the future and a strategic plan to focus and direct our decisions. There is a renewed will to work hard to improve our Church and Schools and help make the teachings of the New Church more accessible to the world. We have a great school with a long and proud history; we have resources, a plan, and a commitment to get the job done. Come, help us accomplish our mission!
The Bryn Athyn Church does not suggest donations of any amount or percentage, but leaves members and friends in freedom to give according to their hearts and abilities. The Church then has the responsibility to use the generous gifts of it’s donors wisely in the service of the Lord.
Thank you for all you to do improve the vitality of the Bryn Athyn Church and its schools!
Where to Direct Your Gift:
Annual Fund – Tuitions provide a great percentage, but not all, of the income that our school counts on to meet expenses. All families receive some financial support through the Annual Fund and endowment income (student financial aid). Because no one is asked to pay the full tuition, we rely on donations to provide this education year-after-year.
Educational Enhancement Fund (EEF) – The EEF is used exclusively to pay for materials and activities that enhance the students’ education. Rather than require students to bring in money each time a field trip occurs or there is a special request from teachers, we use the EEF to fund these events. For a list of activities supported by this fund visit: <insert link to EEF page which now becomes a sub-page of this one rather than it’s own page.
Financial Aid – Your gift to financial aid helps BACS thrive now and in the future. Our generous tuition assistance policy is critical to maintaining our well-balanced student body and ensuring a New Church Education will be here for future generations. To make a future gift through a will, IRA, real estate, or insurance contact the development office at 215-947-6225 ext 202
Area of Greatest Need – Your unrestricted gift enables your donation to go directly to the area of greatest and most immediate need. Unrestricted gifts help us to maintain a balanced budget.
