Oct. 30, 2025: The Bronxville School Foundation (BSF) is thrilled to usher in a new era of leadership and launch its crucial fall fundraising campaign.  The Foundation proudly announces its new slate of officers and the addition of six new board members who will serve for the 2025-2026 school year. 

The Foundation Has Invested over $13.7 Million into the Bronxville School Over the Years

For decades, the BSF has been an indispensable partner to the Bronxville School, transforming educational opportunities for students. The Foundation has awarded an extraordinary 953 grants, investing over $13.7 million directly into the district.  These funds have significantly enhanced the learning experience by financing innovative new curriculum, cutting edge technology, essential faculty training, vital facilities projects, and specialized materials and equipment. Just last year, the Foundation contributed $396,481 through its robust grant program. 

The BSF works hand in hand with the school administration to identify high priority needs that extend beyond the district’s annual budget. These initiatives are critical for maintaining Bronxville’s reputation for educational excellence and providing a truly transformative experience for every student.

Fall Fundraising Campaign Aiming for 100% Participation from School Families

The annual fall fundraising campaign is the cornerstone of our ability to support these vital grants.  It is through generous contributions of our devoted alumni, engaged Bronxville community members, supportive school families, and invaluable corporate matching gifts that we are able to bridge this funding gap.  

We are excited to aim for 100% participation from all Bronxville School families. Every gift, no matter the size, makes a tangible difference and demonstrates a collective commitment to our students’ future.  We are also deeply grateful for the personal donations from the entire school administration team, whose leadership and generosity inspire us all. 

We invite you to join us in shaping the future of education at The Bronxville School. Please consider contributing to the Foundation and help us continue to empower excellence.

New Board Members   

The Foundation is also excited to welcome our newest board members for the 2025-2026 school year.

“We are absolutely thrilled to welcome such a talented group of new board members from our community to the Foundation,” stated Nominating Chair, Wendy Fahy.  “Their diverse perspectives, unwavering commitment to education, and profound passion for The Bronxville School’s success will be invaluable as we continue to foster innovation and uphold our tradition of excellence.
