THE COMPASS FUND IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT IN OUR COMMITMENT TO EDUCATION

Because of the support we receive from our families, we are able to offer programs like vocal music with Mr. Schmidt, technology support and instruction, science programs like Mystery Science, and other enrichment programs. In addition, throughout the year BSC also sponsors teacher and staff appreciation events, community events, and culmination activities.

Every year, we ask our Balboa families to support Balboa’s teachers, staff and scholars by making a 100% tax deductible suggested donation of $350 per student to the Balboa Spirit Club for the COMPASS Fund.  We know that with the current pandemic and resulting circumstances, not everyone will be able to donate the full suggested amount, but we are extremely grateful for whatever amount you can contribute to allow us to continue to maintain Balboa’s high level of excellence. And if your family is able to contribute more ($500 to $1000 or any additional amount), we truly appreciate your generosity, especially during these difficult times. 

In order to maintain the health and safety of our community, we are transitioning to a contactless donation payment option. All donations can be made via credit card or PayPal with a one-time or monthly payment option. You will also receive a donation confirmation letter for tax purposes by the end of 2020. 

The COMPASS Fund donation drive is already underway! Make your donation today using one of these convenient ways to give: 
  • Text COMPASS to 91999, click the link in the auto-reply to select gift amount.
OR
  • Donate here by clicking the blue "Donate Now" button on this page.

Thank you in advance for your support and generosity! We’re looking forward to the best school year possible. If you have any questions, please contact Sonia Reiter, COMPASS Fund chair at BSCcompassfund@gmail.com. 
We need your support to continue our enrichment programs!
                                                                                                  
Please give in whatever amount you feel comfortable. We are aiming for 100% participation by Balboa families, but we know these are difficult times. We are grateful for donations of any amount. We also encourage families to explore employer matching fund programs. Thank-you gifts are available to those who contribute at the $350, $500, and $1,000 levels. See gifts below. 
 
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE COMPASS FUND!
