Giving FAQ

	What does my donation pay for?
	All individual donations go directly toward the more than $1,000,000 granted in scholarships unless otherwise indicated by the donor. The annual cost of education for each pupil is $13,700, but with 64 percent of the students receiving aid, the average amount of tuition paid by a student’s family is less than half of this figure. BTA's annual budget is roughly $2.8 million; with BTA's firm dedication to small class sizes and faculty to student ratios, close to 70 percent of the budget goes towards faculty and staff compensation.
	How much do I have to give to make a difference?
	Whether you can give fifty dollars or thousands of dollars, every gift is appreciated and makes a difference to the students of Boston. The cost of educating one student at BTA in 2010-11 is $13,700.
	How can I give?
	Contributions may be made by check, credit card, or in securities. Please contact Starr Peteet or 617.364.3700 if interested in donating securities. Contributions made by check can be sent by mail to:  Boston Trinity Academy 17 Hale Street Boston, MA 02136
	Is my gift tax-deductible?
	Yes. Boston Trinity Academy is a non-profit organization, a 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
	Will I receive a receipt?
