Giving

Like most private schools, William Bradford Christian School’s continued excellence relies on prayers, gifts of time, talent and financial resources from the entire school community. The generosity of our supporters impacts all areas of school life including academics, athletics, the arts, financial aid, technology, facilities, and staffing. Such support comes in many forms: donations to the Annual Fund, Planned Giving, participation in Parent Teacher Organization, support of school fundraisers, and volunteering at the school. We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) so all gifts are tax deductible.
