Matching gift programs
State Farm® - Matching Gift Program
The State Farm Matching Gift program allows State Farm employees, retirees, and agents who contribute to BCAI to their gifts of $25 to $4,500 per calendar year (minus a small administrative fee) matched by State Farm.
If you have made a qualifying donation, fill out a simple form requesting State Farm to match your gift! Visit the State Farm Companies Foundation site
or the SFNet home page for a link. Use the following email address breakingchains116@gmail.com to confirm the match with BCAI.
Also, if you are a State Farm employee, retiree, or agent who volunteers at BCAI for 40 or more hours in a year, State Farm will continue to grant our organization $500 through the Good Neighbor Grant program.

A new way to support our students
When you shop at Amazon, use this link and part of the money you spend is donated to BCAI.
This does not cost you any extra and supports our students.
SCHOLARSHIP FUND
Because of our vision, mission, and purpose, there are many students that we open our doors to whose families are not in a financial position to afford monthly dues. Dues are a prime source of income for BCAI.
Our new scholarship program balances the financial provision, allowing everyone who needs our training to obtain it within our guidelines.
