The Friends of the Eliot School is a 501c3 that provides funding to enhance the quality of education for students at the Eliot. The Friends of the Eliot School works in partnership with the Eliot Governing Board and the Eliot Family Council to support the school’s vision to provide a fully inclusive, joyful, rigorous learning journey that prepares every student to achieve their highest potential by embracing their identities, developing interdisciplinary 21st century skills, and applying an antiracist mindset empowered by knowledge to participate actively in a complex and constantly changing, culturally diverse world.

Why Give?

Tax dollars allocated to educate Eliot students cover basic educational services. However, the cost of the additional programs and services offered by the Eliot exceeds the funds allocated by BPS. Your annual donations fill the gap, allowing every Eliot student with the opportunity to meet their full potential and while also supporting the educators that lay the foundation for students’ success.

YOUR ONGOING DONATIONS TO THE FRIENDS OF THE ELIOT SCHOOL:

Enable the Eliot to offer additional enrichment programs including Music, Art, Italian, and Robotics.
Support the purchase of educational technology that is utilized for learning and acceleration across content areas.
Provide Eliot educators opportunities to attend high quality professional development sessions. Help build a stronger community by funding events such as the Annual Field Day, Eliot Skate, and Family Council Educational Series.

With an expanding student body and exciting three-building campus, a substantial 501c3 funding stream is needed to ensure the Eliot’s long term sustainability.
