Support Bing

The Bing Nursery School Annual Fund is critical to the financial health of Bing and helps close the gap between tuition revenue and the true cost of providing a top-quality, play-based educational experience for young children.

Combined with tuition, these tax-deductible gifts help support the school's annual budget for current programs, provide opportunities for teacher development and enrichment, fund specialists and student assistants in the classrooms, and support scholarships for children who would otherwise be unable to attend the school.

Gifts may be designated to a specific fund

Donations to The General Gift Fund support on-going programs and operations in order to maintain the exceptional experience for Bing children and families. 

The Bing Nursery School Endowment Fund was established to maintain an exemplary program for students, researchers, children and families and to ensure continuing support and maintenance of the school for the next 50 years. The endowment principle is invested in perpetuity and generates an annual income payout that can be used to support the school and its programs.

In response to the COVID-19 crisis, Bing Nursery School started the Bing Emergency Fund which establishes an expendable gift fund for Bing Nursery School to support teacher and staff salaries and other school expenses in times of crisis or emergency. Examples include, but are not limited to, tuition/income loss during times of emergencies, pandemics, earthquakes, fires, damage to school buildings or infrastructure, and un-anticipated school closure.

The Bing Scholarship Fund helps to provide tuition assistance each year to more than 20% of Bing children who otherwise would not be able to attend.
