Support

Our mission to prepare students to be tomorrow’s leaders, scientists, teachers, artists, etc., will not be possible without the direct financial support above and beyond tuition income. Fundraising and tax-deductible contributions to Bridgemount Academy (BA)  are an integral element of our budget and will provide the funding necessary to help bridge the gab between tuition and the actual costs for preparing our students to build bridges and climb mountains, to provide tuition assistance through scholarships, to provide enrichment activities as well as classroom and program enhancements. 

Donations to BA are tax deductible (Tax ID #: 26-4204007). Gifts to the school may entitle you to charitable deduction. Charitable gifts can be made with various assets – cash, securities, real property – outright or through a number of gift vehicles, such as wills and trusts, etc.

This section will provide some general information on the various opportunities for supporting BA, some of which doesn't cost you any additional money. We encourage our donors to consult your tax advisors to maximize the tax benefit of a contribution, given each individual financial circumstance.

  • SHARES

    Bridgemount Academy is participating in the Lucky S.H.A.R.E.S card program.  S.H.A.R.E.S. is an acronym for Supporting Humanities, Arts, Recreation, Education & Sports in our community.

    The S.H.A.R.E.S. card program is an easy, effortless and efficient way to raise funds for

    Bridgemount Academy.  The best thing about the program is that it doesn’t cost you a cent.   Here is how it works:

    1. When purchasing goods from Lucky’s, SaveMart, Food Max & Smart Goods stores, present your S.H.A.R.E.S. card to the cashier before you pay for your items. 
    2. Each time your card is swiped, BA earns up to 3% of every qualified purchase. One S.H.A.R.E.S. point equals $1 on a qualified purchase; amounts under 49 cents are rounded down to zero, and 50 cents or over is rounded up to the dollar.
    3. As soon as you start using the S.H.A.R.E.S. card, BA starts earning S.H.A.R.E.S. points.
    4. There is no limit to how many people can use the S.H.A.R.E.S. cards.   
    5. And Remember…. points are only recorded and earned if the S.H.A.R.E.S. card is swiped before the payment is tendered.

    Security.  There is no cash value to the S.H.A.R.E.S. card, so no worries if it is lost. The card is issued in the name of the organization, so no personal information is needed or stored. Anyone that shops can use the card to earn S.H.A.R.E.S. points. 

    Qualifying purchase points will be earned on all purchases except:

      • Postage stamps, all gift cards, ticketmaster, event tickets sold through the register
      • BART & transportation tickets, money orders & moneygram, lotto, charity icon sales, i.e. shamrocks, Fuel, check cashing fee, senior & liquor discounts, sales tax
