The Bay School is committed to wise stewardship of all its resources, including gifts from donors. The Finance Committee of the Board of Directors works with staff to develop a budget each year and to monitor revenue and expenses on a monthly basis, making adjustments to the budget as necessary. All expenditures of school funds must be approved in advance and demonstrate a clear connection to our core mission.
The Bay School is a 501(c)3 charitable organization, and gifts to the school are tax-deductible in accordance with federal and state law. Each donor’s tax position is unique and donors should consult their tax professional with any questions about the deductibility of their gifts to charitable organizations.
The Bay School is supported by current students and their families, alumni and their families, current and former faculty and staff, and friends within the community. We seek grants for our programs when appropriate, and sponsors for non-curricular events.
We are deeply grateful for the support we receive from each and every individual and organization.
