Individual Donations
Mariana Bracetti Academy, like other charters, receives less
funding per pupil than Philadelphia district schools and schools from
surrounding counties. To bridge this funding gap, Mariana Bracetti Academy
relies on grant writing, in-kind donations and fundraising to provide our
students with every educational opportunity needed to ensure their success.
If you would like to support Mariana Bracetti Academy’s mission, please
consider making a personal donation to the school. Your gift will help us
continue to offer high quality educational programs, comprehensive after school
activities, and fund the building of our new school.
Mariana Bracetti Academy is asking that all donations be made directly to the school. Contributions can be sent by check, made payable to Mariana Bracetti Academy Charter School, to the following address:
Mariana Bracetti Academy Charter SchoolAttn: Tory Abbott
