Start a Fund

BPSF has several fund options to support our schools and students:

Scholarship Fund: Scholarship Funds are awarded annually to graduating Brainerd Public Schools seniors who plan to pursue post-secondary education. (ie: Four-year degree, two-year degree, certificate or trade program) Donors determine the award criteria based on what is important to you or your loved ones. Scholarship funds can be established as endowed, non-endowed, or flow-through.

4A Grant Fund: 4A Grant Funds help fund grant requests made in the areas of arts, academics, athletics, and activities. Each year, teachers, coaches, admin, and other district staff can request funding for special projects, initiatives or activities that fall outside general operating dollars. Learn more about funded projects at BPSF.org/4as. 4A grant funds can be endowed or non-endowed.

Donor Advised: A Donor Advised fund allows donors to direct funds to a specific cause, building or educational area in the Brainerd Public Schools. These would be accessible year-round as they are not part of the 4A Grants process.
