What does it mean to donate to a Boston Public School?  

​

The short answer is that it can mean everything--to students, to teachers, to families, and to the community.  Each year, when the City of Boston creates its budget, it allocates a lump sum to the Department of Education, which then allocates a dollar amount to each district, using a formula that builds in "weights" for schools with higher needs than others. One of those districts, Boston Public Schools, then distributes its allocation to the 57 schools in the district, including Boston Green Academy.

​

It is no secret that there is never enough funding to provide BPS students with the fully rounded compliment of supports and opportunities that more affluent districts seem to have. But here is where there is opportunity for you to make a difference.  BGA is a Horace Mann school which means, we can raise funds to supplement our budget allocation and provide more academic, social and emotional supports, enrichment and out-of-school opportunities.

Please consider donating any amount to our Moment of Need Fund which directly supports our students and families with food, clothing, transportation, prescriptions, glasses, utilities, and housing. These needs are only becoming greater and every dollar helps.  thank you
