Development

The mission of the Baltimore Lutheran Development Program is to:

• Raise the financial resources necessary for the school’s operating, capital and endowment needs.
• Communicate the school’s vision and mission among BLS families, alumni, friends, faculty, staff and association churches.

The Development program believes strongly in being good stewards of all that God so generously gives to us, and we try to reflect that in our values:

• Affordability BLS values keeping tuition affordable to as many families as possible. The cost of tuition only represents a portion of the actual cost of an education at Baltimore Lutheran School.
• Facility Improvements Maintaining our facilities that we have been blessed to have since 1965, represents a significant portion of our yearly budget. In order to provide the improvements necessary to provide our students with a contemporary environment, we need the financial resources to do this.
• Financial Stability The key to the school’s future financial stability is in building an endowment fund, operating budget financial reserves and an endowed scholarship program. These funds will allow BLS to supplement its operating budget and meet the financial demands of operating an independent Lutheran high school. These funds will reduce the dependency on tuition increases to meet future cost increases in the budget.

Baltimore Lutheran School has two vehicles which provide the bulk of our resources; the Annual Fund and the Capital Campaign.

The Annual Fund Campaign solicits the first and most important financial gift we ask of every parent, grandparent, faculty, staff, alumni and friend of Baltimore Lutheran School. Since dollars raised from this campaign go directly toward the daily operations and continuous improvements to BLS, it is the most beneficial gift that you can make. The Annual Fund Campaign is also critical in keeping tuition reasonable and competitive.

The Capital Campaign provides funding for larger, planned projects that have been identified as priorities. For the 2010-2011 school year, these priorities include:

We are tremendously grateful for the generosity of the many supporters of Baltimore Lutheran School who have provided the vision, financial means and the volunteer efforts to make our school successful. We look forward to your continued support for many years to come.
