Giving Day is a 36-hour fundraising challenge (and celebration) for the whole BGS Community, including Old Bradfordians, parents, and friends worldwide. It invites everyone to give what they can online through this dedicated platform.
Our goal is to raise enough money to fund an Assisted Place through senior school and sixth form, giving one deserving student the opportunity of a BGS education.
Pupils and staff are organizing a packed afternoon of activities and challenges, which we will share on our BGS Giving Day website and through social media.
With thousands of pounds to unlock in matched and challenge funding, it’s a day like no other, and your gift will go even further than usual. It will be a transformational day of giving, and it’s all about what we can achieve together.
This year’s Giving Day will begin at 9am on 27th March 2025.
Gifts made during this period will go even further than usual. Thanks to a very generous friend of BGS, some donations will be matched pound for pound. There are also special donor challenges that will unlock additional funds once we achieve particular goals. Check the Challenges page to see if your gift is eligible to unlock further funding and help us raise even more than last time.
NB: For tax purposes, donors who participate in the giving challenges will be credited for their individual contribution only.
Your gift will help change lives for bright and able children from all backgrounds who deserve a chance to shine at BGS.
All gifts, of every size, will make a real difference. With thousands to unlock in matched and challenge funds, gifts go even further than usual. Having a large number of donors encourages others to support us too, so we would love as many members of our community to participate in Giving Day as possible.
Every penny raised goes directly to support children through means-tested bursaries at BGS.
Whatever size of gift you feel comfortable with, it’s your participation that matters most.
We’d love you to join in on 27th March 2025, but we understand your schedule might not allow you to participate during Giving Day itself.
