Gifts and Donations

As with most independent, Christian schools, UBCS relies on the generosity of donors to provide resources for students and faculty, enhancing the educational experience while keeping tuition as low as possible. Giving to UBCS strengthens and sustains the school’s long-term financial security. Every gift, large or small, makes a difference in the lives of our students, and we thank you in advance for your generosity.

Upper Bucks Christian School is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. No goods or services are provided in exchange for contributions.


There are many ways to donate to UBCS

We appreciate you taking time to research the many options and selecting those that best fit your generosity.

EITC

During the summer and fall UBCS promotes EITC. The state of Pennsylvania allows taxpayers to re-direct their state income tax to the private school of their choice through a program called the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC). For example, if a person’s state income tax amount is $3,000, that taxpayer can make a $3,000 donation to the benefit of UBCS and receive a 90% ($2,700) tax credit OFF of their total tax amount – reducing their amount of tax paid to the state to $300.

The form takes about 5 minutes to fill out, but availability is limited. Click the button below to learn more about the process.

If interested in learning more about EITC email Josh Scheiderer at josh@upperbucks.org or call 215-536-9200 ext. 119

Annual Fund

The Annual Fund is a three-letter, end-of-year drive to sustain the mission of UBCS through the generosity of our growing list of supporters. Letters go out in October, November, and December. Since 2020 donors to the Annual Fund have given hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep tuition affordable and for projects like these

  • offset Covid-related losses (i.e. cancelled international camps, increased health & safety costs)
  • continue STEM and technology upgrades
  • transform a portion of the library into a multi-functional computer lab
  • convert an under-utilized portion of the Timothy Christian Education into a new Learning Support room
  • update the library desk
  • complete the middle school/high school math classroom in Timothy
  • create a new, updated website

Dennis Woelkers Memorial Sporting Clay Tournament

In April or May of each year UBCS hosts the Dennis Woelkers Memorial Sporting Clay Tournament. Named for one of our most dedicated volunteers, this popular event brings together shooters of all skill levels to raise money for Bucks through sponsorships, registrations, and raffles. This is one of our most highly anticipated dates on the calendar.

If interested in learning more about the clay shoot email us at events@upperbucks.org or call 215-536-9200 ext. 114
