Donations & Fundraising

BBE is a non-profit registered charity. Each year BBE must fundraise a set amount in order to support current programming levels. Funds raised above this set amount are used for special projects, special events and to further enhance existing children’s programming. Four to five times a year we ask that families participate to help us achieve our fundraising goal. We understand that fundraising may be time consuming and therefore families may voluntarily opt to make a donation in lieu of taking part in the fundraising events.

Donations may be made by cheque or money order. A charitable donation receipt will be provided for any donations of $10. The name and address of the donor will be on the receipt.

If you are donating gifts of property such as toys, books, equipment, or tickets for auction, a receipt for the fair market value of the gift (if determinable) less any advantage greater than $75 will be provided. For example, if donated tickets were purchased in bulk, the face value of the ticket less the bulk savings amount would be the fair market value for receipt purposes.
