Invest in a Bialik Jewish education
In a world where antisemitism is rising, a Bialik Jewish education gives our students the courage to stand tall, the confidence to know who they are, and the pride of where they come from. It deepens their connection to Israel, anchors them in Jewish identity, and builds meaningful ties with the wider world.Enhance our programs
At Bialik, learning is always extended through the Cultures of Thinking framework, reaching far beyond the classroom. We invest in programs that inspire curiosity, nurture creativity, and encourage students to explore new ideas. These opportunities empower our students to grow as leaders who make a meaningful impact within the community. By supporting this pillar, you help ensure every student continues to develop the skills, confidence, and vision to lead with curiosity.Transform our spaces
As enrolments grow, so too does our responsibility to expand and elevate our spaces. We must ensure every student has access to world-class facilities that inspire learning, foster innovation, and equip them with the very best opportunities for the future.Build community and belonging.
Our community is what shapes the culture of belonging and giving that defines us. Through engagement, volunteering or financial contributions, every contribution helps build a supportive environment where we grow together, inspire one another, and ensure Bialik continues to thrive for generations to come.

That’s no problem at all. When you make your donation online, simply tick the box to remain anonymous. We’ll still send you a receipt, but your name will not appear publicly on our giving day website.

Your fees are what make the school run day to day. Giving Day is different—it’s about strengthening Bialik for the future. Nearly 25% of families receive fee assistance, and Giving Day ensures that every child can access a Bialik education regardless of financial means.
-
Thank you for your past generosity—it makes a real difference. Giving Day is about coming together as one community, one day, to show collective strength. Every donation, big or small, helps us reach our goal and demonstrates that we all stand behind Bialik.

We completely understand—every situation is different. Even a small gift has a big impact today. Any donation today over $2 is tax deductable.

That’s wonderful—we’re all stronger when we support the Jewish community together. Bialik is unique in that it ensures a strong Jewish education, identity and belonging for the next generation. Now more than ever it is imperative to be investing in a Bialik education so that our students are well equipped to navigate the changing landscape in the diaspora. Would you consider also including Bialik in your giving this year?
-
That’s a common misconception. While Bialik has wonderful supporters, the reality is that nearly a quarter of our students rely on fee assistance. Giving Day helps ensure no child is turned away because of financial circumstances. Your gift today helps make that possible.
-
Actually, every donation makes a huge difference—especially today, even small gifts add up to create something powerful for our students and families. Be part of that collective impact.
