endowment
gifts
Buckingham Friends School invests its endowment funds in a manner in keeping with
Quaker values, in a portfolio that excludes companies that have a substantial involvement
in the production or sale of alcohol, tobacco, nuclear power or gambling products or
services, and would exclude companies with any involvement in the production or sale
of military products or services.
Endowment Funds provide long-lasting financial security and stability for the school.
Contributions are permanently invested and the principal of these funds remains intact.
We gratefully acknowledge the following contributions that will create a perpetual source
of income and an enduring gift to Buckingham Friends School.

“
This year I started a charitable fund in the memory of my dear friend Bonnie Milne
who died in 2009 at age 41. While her life was cut short with much yet undone,
she left a generosity of spirit that I will carry on for her throughout the rest of my
life. I created Bonnie’s Wish to remind myself, and others, that it is possible to
leave a lasting legacy of love, hope and spirit.
Please accept this gift in her memory and for her wish for a better world.
