Since 2001, BES has trained nearly 3,000 leaders and supported Fellows in founding 220+ schools who serve 73,000+ students annually.
As we approach our 25th anniversary next year, we’re stepping into a new era–one defined by hope and lasting change.
Now through December 2, we invite you to join us in Giving Forward by investing in the next generation of school leaders. These leaders are shaping stronger futures for students and communities across the country, and your support helps make this work possible.
When you give to BES, you help us ensure that all children have access to quality education and a future filled with opportunity. Every dollar donated to BES helps us to do the following:
1. Empower School Founders to Build High-Quality Schools
Your support will directly contribute to the support of BES Fellows who will design, found, and lead schools of excellence, equity, and innovation that respond to the unique needs of their local communities.
2. Expand Leadership Development
With our commitment to building a robust leadership pipeline, you can help us expand the reach of our leadership development programs and provide essential resources for current and emerging school leaders in the education sector. Your contribution will be instrumental in developing the current and next generation of educational leaders.
3. Contribute to a Healthy National Education Sector
You can significantly contribute to our vision of creating a thriving, sustainable, and equitable organization at BES. Your generosity directly fuels our efforts to contribute towards a more healthy and inclusive national education sector.
How to Give
As we build momentum for our 25th anniversary, we’re encouraging gifts starting with $25 to help us build momentum on The Road to 25 and beyond.
Whether you give $25, $250, $,2500, or more, your investment has ripple effects that reach far beyond today.
