Supporting Our School

Merchant Account

Giving and strength is a critical component to the prosperity of Tri-City Christian Academy. By joining together alumni, parents and friends, we can, and do, make a significant contribution to the progress of TCCA. Every gift from every donor, regardless of the amount, is important to building our future. Thank you.

There are several ways you can show your support.

• Annual Campaign
• Endownment Giving
• Volunteering
• Supporting Fundraisers

As TCCA looks to the future, we hold steadfast in our core values. The Annual Campaign helps us continue our mission of providing the finest Christian education available at a tremendous value. Donations to this annual campaign are used to help fund initiatives to enhance academic programs and facilities, retain highly qualified faculty and continue to offer a wide variety of student activities.

Unrestricted gifts are used to serve the mission of TCCA and give us the flexibility to use the funds where the need is greatest. Some would fulfill needs that arise urgently; other gifts would be used to strengthen ongoing student programs or to help fund our mission and recent expansion project.

Restricted gifts are those gifts made to specific areas: capital improvements, athletics, the arts, financial aid. These gifts allow our students to enjoy extra benefits not provided by the operating budget.

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees. Please contact your Human Resources department about your Matching Gift Program.

Scholarship Fund provides assistance for families who would not be able to attend TCCA otherwise.

ENDOWMENT GIVING

Our students are our greatest resource for the future. Endowments ensure that they have access to a quality, Christian education that values academic excellence and personal growth. Tri-City Christian Academy has recently established the TCCA Endowment Fund, which will eventually provide substantial financing to the school through interest generated. Money will be continually added to the principal by various means, but the principal shall never be diminished by accessing it for any school expenditures.

Endowment gifts are governed by the school's Board of Trustees and include contributions to the General Endowment Fund.

Ten percent of the profits of all fundraisers will go into the TCCA Endowment Fund. Parental support of these fundraisers greatly assists in expanding the program of Tri-City Christian Academy. In addition, the fund receives designated tax-deductible gift donations, and it will soon receive funds from those who have included the TCCA Endowment Fund in their wills. In the near future, it is expected that professional legal counsel will be conveniently available at no charge to all those who desire assistance in incorporating the TCCA Endowment Fund into their estate planning.

To learn more about the TCCA Endowment Fund, please contact the school administrator.

The success of our school is due in part to our faithful volunteers. Parents, grandparents, alumni, and friends have significantly contributed to many of the school initiatives and we are a better school because of their ongoing dedication and support. Our volunteers make a difference!

TCCA fundraisers are strategically planned to provide a quality Christian education offering a wide variety of extracurricular activities, new school equipment, expanded facilities, and faculty training - all while maintaining a reasonable tuition scale.

Fundraisers will be those that best serve TCCA and are therefore guided by the principle of being most agreeable to the parents we serve. All TCCA fundraisers shall be completely voluntary with no parental response mandated. Fundraisers should not require significant work from parents, such as collecting funds and distributing items, even if they do participate only on a voluntary basis.

Larger school-wide fundraisers will be conducted to support general school purposes, which benefit all, and smaller individual fundraisers will be conducted to support particular school purposes, which benefit only a part of the TCCA community. The larger school-wide fundraisers will be designed to achieve the secondary purpose of creating unity and enthusiasm for the entire TCCA community. The smaller individual fundraisers will be designed to achieve the secondary purpose of teaching our students the importance of planning and hard work.

Ten percent of the profits of all fundraisers will go into the TCCA Endowment Fund. Parental support of these fundraisers greatly assists in expanding the program of the school.
