BPS Social Worker Requests

We hope this site will be a useful reference for our social worker to find both the request forms for the BPS Family Assistance Fund and Supply Request Donations.

BPS Family Assistance Fund

Link to form: https://bpsfoundation.com/funding/covid-19-bps-family-assistance-fund/

Common things that have been approved by the funding committee are as follows:

  • Past due utility/heat bills
  • Past due rent
  • Past due medical bills

We ask that you exhaust existing community supports and utilize this fund for things that cannot be covered elsewhere. Examples of things that have not been covered are transportation or any type of gift cards.  That stated, cases are reviewed and approved on a case by case basis with the families current situation taken into consideration.

BPS Student Supply Request Form

Link to form: https://bpsfoundation.com/funding/bps-donation-supply-request-form/

Common things that have been approved by the funding committee are as follows:

  • School Supplies
  • Cold Weather Gear
  • Snacks (will send only when available)

Please note, lice kits may only be requested by your building nurse! If there is a need within these areas that is not listed within the form, please reach out to Tahlia Nygaard, Development Director for assistance.

External Supports

For the following supports, we would ask that you either pass along the link to the family in need to fill out or assist them in filling out and follow the prompts provided for submission. These programs are not supported by the BPS Foundation but rather community programs who have reached out and asked us to promote their program.
