Current Annual Fundraising Progress

(Annual Fundraising Target for 2024-2025 School Year: $370,000)

Your donation makes a profound impact on our students. It is not just about numbers; it is about inspiration and opportunities for the entire Brooklyn Tech community. 

PA is kindly asking for your generous donations to thrive and excel in our students' academics and crucial extracurriculars. The money raised by PA will help pay for crucial support and programs. We need your help!! Your donation is vital to helping Brooklyn Tech High School offer all students the quality and range of opportunities. 

Our suggested amount for your gift is $750 per student. We recognize that $750 may be an easy gift for some, a stretch for many, and a real economic hardship for others. We ask that each family give whatever they are able to. Any amount counts, every donation matters! We greatly appreciate your gift and your participation is truly important. 

Matching Gifts: Another way to increase your donation to our PA is through your company’s Matching Gift program. Please contact your Human Resource department to see if your company offers matching gifts.

Thank you for your generosity, time, and consideration. The Brooklyn Tech PA relies on donations from parents, guardians, families, friends, and community businesses to fund all of the enriching programs we sponsor. A school is as strong as its parent body, we look forward to an exciting year ahead!
