Support Us
Every dollar directly supports Bank Street’s commitment to progressive education for children and adults.
Your gift to Bank Street supports progressive education in action and furthers our mission and work. We seek to improve the education of children and their teachers by applying to the education process all available knowledge about learning and growth, and by connecting teaching and learning meaningfully to the outside world. When you make a gift to Bank Street, you are helping to build a community in which children, families, and educators learn and thrive.
In the words of our founder Lucy Sprague Mitchell’s credo: “We see in education an opportunity to build a better society.”
Bank Street Annual Dinner
Bank Street’s Annual Dinner is the College’s signature benefit that increases awareness of Bank Street’s mission in the greater community and raises funds to support its vital work. Each year the President and the Board of Trustees invite existing and new friends of the College to come together in celebration of Bank Street’s contributions to the world of education and to honor those who share this passion for progressive education.

TranscriptTranscript I’m so grateful for all of the support and energy that so many of you have shared in this past year with us. We can’t do this work without your support, we need your thinking, your creativity, and your passion, but we also need your resources to help us bring this work both to the community here at Bank Street but also much further beyond to children from east New York, Brooklyn to New Haven, Connecticut to the South Bronx. Today, Bank Street is touching hundreds of thousands of children across the country, changing their lives through the work we do with educators, and we couldn’t do that without you.
