Annual Fund | Ways to Give
What is the Annual Fund?
The Annual Fund is our most important fundraising effort at FCS; it’s how we raise support for the school’s mission “to provide an excellent educational experience” with a solid biblical worldview. Tuition alone does not provide the necessary funds to fulfill this mission, and each year we set financial goals for our Annual Fund to help us purchase items that enrich and enhance our students’ education through investments in state-of-the-art technology, innovative curriculum, and physical assets.
Gifts to the Friendship Christian School Annual Fund are tax-deductible in accordance with the law and will be acknowledged promptly for tax purposes.
From batting cages to musical instruments to live-stream equipment, the annual fund is one of the most impactful ways we can improve our offerings to our students and provide experiences that will benefit them as they continue their education.
Why is the Annual Fund important to FCS?
Goal 1: Keep tuition and fees accessible
Goal 2: Be good stewards of what God has given us
Goal 3: Provide for the needs of our students
Goal 4: Enhance the overall educational experience of our students
