FREQUENTLY REQUESTED INFORMATION
EMAIL OUR TEAM
BRIGHT HORIZONS IS A NONPROFIT AGENCY. WE GUARANTEE THAT 90 CENTS OF EVERY DOLLAR WE RECEIVE GOES BACK INTO SERVICES, NOT OVERHEAD.
PEOPLE SOMETIMES ASK US HOW AND WHY A NONPROFIT CHARGES FEES. THAT'S A COMPLETELY FAIR QUESTION--HERE'S HOW IT WORKS. THE FEES WE CHARGE ACCOUNT FOR ONLY 20% OF OUR BUDGET, SO WE ARE NOT PROFITING FROM CLIENT SERVICES. OUR WONDERFUL CLIENTS CONTRIBUTE TO KEEPING OUR SERVICES AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE BY PAYING SLIDING SCALE FEES, AND WE APPRECIATE THEM GREATLY, BUT TO KEEP OUR SERVICES AVAILABLE AND AFFORDABLE, WE DO NEED THE SUPPORT OF THE COMMUNITY AS WELL.
HERE ARE WAYS YOU CAN HELP:

IF YOU OWN A BUSINESS, WE'D LOVE TO PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS BY PUTTING AN UNDERWRITING AD ON OUR SITE OR GIVING YOUR GIFT CERTIFICATES TO DONORS AS THANK YOU GIFTS. CALL US IF INTERESTED.
WE WILL NEVER ASK FOR DONATIONS WITHOUT LETTING YOU SEE WHERE OUR MONEY GOES. SEE OUR BUDGET AND TAX FILING FOR MORE INFORMATION.
