For almost five hundred years, Bradford Grammar School (BGS) has provided an outstanding education to bright and hardworking young people.

BGS has always been a catalyst for talented individuals to do great things, equipping young people with the confidence to go out into the world and make the most of their gifts. The School’s Royal Charter, issued by King Charles II in 1662 – some 114 years before the US Declaration of Independence and more than 200 years before the Canadian Confederation – outlines the principles which guide BGS to this day: to provide an outstanding education to talented young people in Bradford.

Double your donation, double your impact

Thanks to a visionary donation pledged in support of the School’s new 1662 Fund for Assisted Places, North American Old Bradfordians have the chance to fully fund an Assisted Place for a bright child from a disadvantaged background at BGS.

A generous challenge fund of £50,000 or $68,500 will double all donations made by North American donors to BGS before 31 December 2021.

Please note that donations received by credit card will be reduced by 3% (the fee charged to process your donation).

Donate Securities
Donating securities is a highly tax effective way for US taxpayers to make a gift, as it may eliminate the unrealized capital gain on the securities donated.

Consulting your own tax advisor is recommended before making such a transaction

Alternative ways to donate
US tax payers may also be able to make donations from retirement plan distributions. 501c3 gifts may also be eligible for corporate matching programs by employers.
