Annual Fund 2012-2013

"Bold Faith"

Every year faithful parents, parents of alumni, staff, graduates, businesses and foundations invest in BCS programs knowing that our students are tomorrow’s Christian leaders.

We boldly ask for your prayerful gift to the BCS Annual Fund.  It supports 10% of the school’s operational needs--$1M.  Your Annual Fund dollars support the academic program with equipment, additional faculty salary and benefits, family discounts, facilities maintenance and upgrades, and financial aid. In addition, your tax–deductible gift, no matter how large or small, supports families by keeping tuition as low as possible.

Online Giving?

Yes! All you need is a credit card number. We use a secure system with lots of options. You may even set up a monthly giving program or designate your gift to a specific campus or program...Give Now!

Matching Gifts and United Way

If you or your spouse work for a company that matches your charitable gifts, it may be doubled or even tripled. Please check with your personnel office for a Matching Gift Form and send it in with your contribution.
If you give to United Way through your company, you can designate BCS as a recipient. Microsoft also matches their employees' United Way giving, potentially doubling your tax–deductible gift!

Appreciated Securities

Making a gift to Bellevue Christian School of appreciated securities that have been held for more than one year provides a two–fold tax benefit to you, which reduces the net cost of the gift.

1. First, no capital gains tax is paid on the appreciation of the donated securities.
2. Second, the donor establishes a federal income tax charitable deduction equal to the market value of the security on the date of the gift.

If you are interested in donating appreciated securities, please call the Development Office (425) 454-4402 ext. 210 for specific information. Gifting appreciated securities has special benefits.

Again, thank you for your prayers and gifts.  Our students appreciate it!
