Annual Giving Campaign 2024/25
This year, as part of our Annual Giving Campaign, we are asking you to Be part of someone’s Brentwood Story. Take the step of starting that first chapter and consider making a contribution to the Brentwood Annual Fund. Whether you choose to support financial aid, or endowment, academics, arts or athletics, every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference in the lives of our students.
“With no children of our own, my husband and I have taken so much pleasure over the years in helping deserving students attend Brentwood College School. It has been such a JOY to watch the Cropper bursary recipients succeed in life as they continue their studies and careers in the wider world.”
Deirdre Cropper (Former staff)
Why Give?
Your gift to the School is a powerful and immediate way to affirm your confidence in our vision, that Brentwood will set the standard globally for inspirational and transformative learning. Your gift ensures that the Brentwood experience remains exceptional and accessible for all of our students—today, and for generations to come.
Centenary Fund
Established in 1923, Brentwood College School has been investing in the future for many years—one student at a time. As we move through the 100th anniversary of the founding of the School, the Student Impact Fund will be directed in support of the newly established Centenary Fund. The Centenary Fund will support financial aid and capital projects. As a collective, community-driven annual fund that fills the gaps not covered by tuition, the Student Impact Fund will continue to be a vital source of financial aid and enhancements to our tripartite programming.
New Centre for Innovation and Learning
Coming in August of 2024, the new Centre for Innovation and Learning will be a world-class facility supporting all Brentwood academic experiences—situated right at the water and at the mid-point of our 90-acre oceanfront campus. The 72,000 sq. ft., West Coast-inspired building includes a new boathouse for our Brentwood Rowing Program and academics-driven features such as Learning Neighbourhoods, a Science Superlab, the Collaborative Atrium Space, and several Waterfront Learning Spaces—in addition to classrooms, offices, and areas for socializing and gathering as a community.
To connect with us on how you can be a part of the Centre for Innovation and Learning—please contact Director of Advancement & Alumni Relations Ian McPherson via email or a direct call: ian.mcpherson@brentwood.ca +1 (250) 743-5521
Directing Your Gift
All gifts can be directed to support the initiative that means the most to you. We can also provide guidance on the areas of the School that are in greatest need, and help you understand the impact your gift will have on a student’s education.

Bequests. Gifts made through a will are important legacies to provide for the future of Brentwood College School. If you are planning to make a provision for the School, we would appreciate being advised so we can recognize your generosity. A gift may be stated as a specific dollar amount, a percentage of the estate, or the residual of the estate.
Trust Funds. A trust can be established in memory of someone or for a specific purpose. We will be pleased to discuss options of mutual benefit to both the individual and the School.
Life insurance provides an affordable way to make a significant non-taxable contribution because the proceeds are completely separate from your estate. By establishing a life insurance policy in Brentwood's name, you can benefit from immediate tax deductions on your monthly premiums.
Real Estate or "In-Kind" gifts. Individuals may donate land, buildings, or other assets such as artwork, to Brentwood College School. Such gifts are appraised on the date received and an official tax receipt is issued for the appraised value.
Charitable Tax Receipts
Brentwood is a registered charitable organization. Eligible donors who make a gift of CAD$20 or more will receive a receipt in the mail, typically within 1-2 weeks (depending on where you live in the world). Eligible donations received before 11:59 PM on December 31 will receive a charitable tax receipt for that year. Donations received after this date will receive a tax receipt for the following calendar year.
Donations over CAD$20.00 are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.
American Donors
If you require a US charitable tax receipt, we suggest you make your online donation via FRISBE (Friends of Independent Schools & Better Education).
Please consult with your tax specialist to ensure you are donating in the most beneficial way for your needs.

And it allows the privilege of the Brentwood experience to be shared across diverse backgrounds—something that makes Brentwood special
