Giving

Bosque Fund

As with most independent schools and universities, tuition does not cover the full cost of each student’s dynamic and immersive education at Bosque School.  The Bosque Fund helps to close this gap and show support for the unique educational opportunities provided by Bosque School - where students are challenged to think critically, solve problems in real-life contexts and develop their skills and passion as lifelong learners. Additionally, a strong Bosque Fund helps us keep tuition costs in line with peer schools and allows us to maintain a diverse community and student body. 
 

MONTHLY GIVING

Donors can easily set up a recurring monthly donation on our online giving form. A monthly donation allows you to spread the financial impact of your gifts across the entire year. When you give monthly, you are making a vital contribution to our long-term financial goals and demonstrating a sustained commitment to our mission and students. 

A recurring monthly donation also allows you to increase the size and impact of your gift by spreading it out across easy to make payments. 
A $1000 annual gift is equal to making a monthly gift of $83 for twelve months. 

Monthly gifts can be updated or changed at any time.  Donors will receive an annual receipt of their total giving for the year for tax purposes.

BOSQUE Fund FAQ

List of 6 frequently asked questions.

  • How much should I give?

    We ask that you make a meaningful contribution that is commensurate with your capacity.  We are grateful for each and every gift we receive, regardless of size.

  • Why does participation matter?

    Every gift helps us reach our financial and participation goals. The impact of many gifts is far greater than that of a few large gifts. Strong participation demonstrates community commitment to prospective families, foundations, and other donors.

  • Is my gift tax-deductible?

    Yes! Bosque School is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and your gift to the Bosque Fund is 100% tax-deductible. With the passage of the CARES act, individual taxpayers can deduct donations to charity of up to $300 on their 2020 federal tax return, even though they take the standard deduction.  Married-filing-jointly taxpayers will get an above-the-line deduction of up to $600.

  • How does making a gift to the Bosque Fund support the endowment?

    By using Bosque Fund gifts and tuition dollars to support yearly operating expenses, we are able to keep funds in the endowment where they can grow and help secure the financial sustainability for the school. While major gifts to the endowment, like establishing an endowment fund, helps the overall growth of the endowment; making a gift to the Bosque Fund allows us to keep money invested in the endowment rather than pulling it out to support operating efforts.

  • Will my gift affect my family’s tuition assistance?

    No. All families, regardless of any financial assistance they may receive, will be asked to make a gift to the Bosque Fund.  Your gift will not affect any tuition assistance for which you have qualified.

  • Why should alumni make a gift?

    There are many reasons alumni give back to Bosque: to show appreciation for the education and development the school provided them; to provide others with a similar experience; to stay connected to the Bosque School Community.  Independent schools across the country rely on alumni support to maintain the strength and sustainability of the institution.
