The Brave Nature School Foundation
Help grow accessible, anti-bias, anti-racist, consent-based learning for all families.
BNS Foundation is a registered 501c3 non-profit that nurtures Brave Nature School and our wider ecosystem of care. We are charged with fundraising to supplement the costs of operating our micro-school where needed.
Given that it is unrealistic to have a perfectly and equitably balanced representation of each income bracket represented across cohorts and programs, this Foundation serves to fill in the inevitable gaps. This ensures all children and families who wish to participate in our programs may do so seamlessly without having to wait for a specific income bracket slot to become available.
What is the Brave Nature School Foundation?
- Dependence on scholarships places undue uncertainty onto an application process.
- Scholarship-based systems create sticker shock while leaving the final price for any prospective student a mystery. This complicates decisions to apply.
- Scholarship-based systems devalue people with less economic power by asking them to prove themselves worthy. These people must work harder to apply.
- Scholarship-based systems can prejudice organizations against scholarship-seekers, because it requires greater administrative effort to process and review applications for scholarships.
Why not scholarships?
We also have a BNS Supplies Wish List if you would like to support us in that way.
