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.

Sponsor families

Your donation will cover the discounted amount that some of our families could not afford. This ensures that NO ONE is left behind and that BCAI can function at full capacity without making financial sacrifices.

Each family that receives assistance is held accountable for specific deadlines, attendance, and volunteer hours.

Sponsor Programs

Your donation will cover specific programs of BCAI. This ensures that our training functions at the highest level of quality and integrity because we will not be limited due to funding.

We have various dance and cultural arts programs that we would appreciate assistance with. (We also accept donations of time!)

Sponsor Operations

Your donation will cover the day to day operations of BCAI, the foundation that allows us to continue revolving and evolving consistently without taking focus off our overall vision and misDowsion.
