Support Bullis
Dear Friends,
Welcome to the Development section of the Bullis Web site, and thank you for your interest in Bullis School. Our department oversees a wide range of advancement activities including: fundraising (annual fund, capital campaigns, endowment and planned giving), alumni affairs, events, communications and marketing.
Whether you are a parent, alumnus, grandparent or friend of the school, I extend my thanks and appreciation for your interest in supporting Bullis. As a leading independent school, we rely on the generosity of donors to provide essential funding that enables Bullis to offer superior educational programs and facilities.
Please take a few moments to explore our development Web pages. You will find information about our Annual Fund—the foundation of our philanthropic program—along with information about online giving and pledges; updates on our current Bullis Gala Auction, our yearly fund-raising event; and information on previous campaign successes and the School’s overall strategic plan.
If you have questions or thoughts to share about any Bullis advancement activities, or if you wish to join the ranks of Bullis donors and/or volunteers, please give me a call, e-mail me, or better yet, please stop by Founders’ Hall. My door is always open. Bullis is an exciting, vibrant school, and it is a privilege to be a part of such a dynamic and successful institution. I look forward to meeting you and personally welcoming you to the Bullis campus.
With regards and appreciation,
Jim Ledyard, Director of Development
Bridging the Gap
Tuition revenue alone does not sustain the high quality of a Bullis education. Like other independent schools, we also rely on Annual Fund contributions, endowment income and fund-raising events to meet our annual operating costs.
Our largest source of nontuition revenue is the Annual Fund, which provides six percent of the annual operating budget. The Annual Fund sustains and improves Bullis, helping us field teams to “It’s Academic” and Model United Nations; bring new technology to classrooms; support faculty development; and enrich our curriculum with field trips, speakers and experiential learning.
Your gift helps Bullis fulfill its mission of providing co-educational college preparatory programs of excellence in a community that values integrity, respect, responsibility, diversity and service.
Giving to Bullis
Through gifts to the Annual Fund, our parents, grandparents, alumni, parents of alumni and friends show their support, in a concrete fashion, for the Bullis School’s mission. Both large gifts and modest ones matter, because all gifts demonstrate your confidence in our school. We hope that you will make Bullis a philanthropic priority this year and that our continuing success will matter most to you. Our goal is 100 percent participation in the Annual Fund.
You may give online by clicking here: Online Pledge Form. Or, you can mail your gift to us in care of the Development Office, Bullis School, 10601 Falls Road, Potomac, MD 20854. As always, we welcome your visits to our office to talk further about Bullis. Thank you for your generosity.
