Parents should consider donating to Brentwood Christian School even while paying tuition because tuition alone often covers only the basic costs of education, such as teacher salaries and day-to-day operations. Donations help fund enhancements that tuition cannot fully support, including:
Giving also allows parents to invest in the long-term growth and sustainability of the school, ensuring that their children—and future students—benefit from a vibrant, well-resourced learning environment. Additionally, contributing fosters a sense of community and shared responsibility, demonstrating support for the school’s mission and helping maintain its standards of excellence.
Students should consider tithing because it teaches the values of generosity, responsibility, and gratitude from an early age. It also encourages financial discipline, as students learn to budget and prioritize giving alongside saving and spending. Beyond the practical benefits, tithing fosters a sense of purpose and connection, showing students that their contributions, no matter how small, can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others and help support the greater good. It’s also a great way to give back!

The BCS Athletic Fund is a dedicated resource that supports the growth, improvement, and sustainability of Brentwood Christian’s sports programs. Donations to this fund directly enhance students’ experiences by providing updated equipment, uniforms, and safe playing facilities, as well as covering travel expenses for competitions and tournaments. Contributions can also help fund specialized training, coaching staff, and wellness programs that promote teamwork, discipline, and healthy lifestyles. Beyond athletics, a strong program builds school spirit and community pride, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to participate and excel regardless of financial background.
Bless Our Bears Fund is Brentwood Christian School’s financial aid program, distributing 100% of donations directly to tuition relief for families in need. This program ensures that students from all backgrounds can access a Christ-centered education that prepares them academically, socially, and spiritually.
The BCS Fine Arts Fund is dedicated to nurturing students’ creativity and expression through programs in music, theater, visual arts, and dance. Donations to this fund make it possible to purchase quality instruments, art supplies, costumes, and stage equipment, as well as to maintain performance and studio spaces where students can learn and showcase their talents. Contributions also help bring in guest artists, fund field trips to museums and performances, and support art exhibitions and productions that enrich both students and the wider school community. By investing in the arts, donors help students develop confidence, imagination, and a well-rounded education that extends beyond the classroom.
The GrandBear Group Fund is a special initiative that allows grandparents to play a meaningful role in enriching their grandchildren’s educational experience while leaving a lasting legacy for future generations. Donations to this fund directly support areas of greatest need across the school, such as classroom resources, campus improvements, technology upgrades, and student activities. By giving to the grandparents fund, donors help strengthen the overall learning environment, foster school traditions, and create opportunities that make a positive impact on both their grandchildren and the entire school community.
The BCS Foundation is one of the most impactful ways to give, ensuring that resources are directed to the areas of greatest need within our school. Any donation not designated for a specific purpose is placed into the Foundation, allowing us to respond quickly and effectively whenever new needs arise.
An exciting feature of the BCS Foundation is Matched Giving. Through this opportunity, many companies will match their employees’ charitable contributions—often dollar for dollar—effectively doubling the impact of each gift. Matching funds not only inspire greater participation from families, alumni, and community members but also accelerate our ability to meet urgent and long-term goals. These gifts can strengthen academic programs, enhance athletic and arts facilities, provide scholarships, and support investments in technology and teacher development.
By leveraging the generosity of lead donors, matched giving fosters a spirit of collective generosity, ensuring that every contribution goes further and makes a lasting difference in the lives of our students.
