Donors & Giving
Donors to Bradley/Cleveland Public Education Foundation give generously of their financial resources impacting teaching and learning in our public schools. There is no better foundation for a safe, prosperous and healthy community than great public education. Although private contributions cannot replace the public funding of our two local school systems, these charitable gifts by dedicated donors bring innovative teaching and academic excellence to the classrooms.
How to give
An investment in public education is an investment in our community’s quality of life. There is no better foundation for a safe, healthy and prosperous community than great public education. Bradley County and Cleveland City Schools are committed to providing an excellent education for every K-12 student. Substantial public support is critical, but private dollar investments provide academic innovation which is essential to delivering excellence!
Your gifts to BCPEF, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law and provide support for classroom, school or system-wide programs and projects.
