Philanthropy at Bancroft School 

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in supporting Bancroft School! 
 
More than a century after the founding of the School, the importance of true philanthropy is greater than ever.  Gifts to the Annual Fund help to support and sustain Bancroft's ability to plan for next year, and into the future. 

Together, We Are Bancroft!


•    Click on the above Donate Now button to make a gift via VISA, Mastercard, American Express or Discover, or call the Development Office at 508-853-2640 ext. 297, and speak with a member of our staff. (Please note that our secure online form allows for one donor name; if you wish to include another name, please enter that information in the Comments area.)
 
•    If you are making a gift by check, it should be made payable to Bancroft School,  and any special purposes (Annual Fund, Senior Parent's Fund, etc.) should be clearly marked in the memo section of the check or in an accompanying note.
•    If you are making a gift of securities, please contact the Development Office for wire transfer instructions. 
 
•    To promote charitable giving, many companies sponsor Matching Gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees.  (Some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses too.)  Contact your personnel or human resources department to find out if your company has a matching gift policy and forms.  Simply send us the completed form and we will do the rest. 
 
Your gifts, pledges, Matching Gift forms or correspondence may be mailed to:

Alumni & Development Office
Bancroft School

Worcester, MA 01605-3198
 
Our 2009/2010 fiscal year began on July 1, 2009 and will end on June 30, 2010. If your gift is received during this period please note that it will be reflected in the Annual Report of Charitable Giving in the fall of 2010. 
 
If you have questions or need assistance, please feel free to call the Development Office at 508-853-2640, ext. 297, or email us at giving@bancroftschool.org.

Ways to Give - How You Can Help!


Support the 2009-10 Bancroft School Annual Fund

Donations to the Annual Fund—in amounts that range from $10 to $20,000—allow Bancroft to be great--to continue to provide an experience of excellence for every student. The 2009-2010 Annual Fund goal is $415,000. When you receive a letter or phone call asking for your support, please give generously.

Consider a Major Gift to Bancroft School

Sometimes, perhaps out of love for Bancroft or admiration of a teacher, to memorialize a family member or for many other reasons, people choose to make a special donation to advance a particular purpose.  It could be to support scholarships, to honor teachers, to enhance facilities or to delop a new student program or teaching method. Whatever their aim, major gifts go right to the heart of Bancroft School.

Remember Bancroft with a Planned Gift

Since its inception, Bancroft has thrived and grown through the generous legacies of alumni and friends. Gifts made through the Pooled Income Fund or Charitable Remainder trusts, Life Income as well as charitable bequests have powerfully promoted Bancroft School's mission.  Consider the impact that Bancroft has had on your life, and consider whether a special legacy gift might be a meaningful way to advance your school.
