Bosque Fund FAQs

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
