Why do we hold annual fundraisers?

Faith Christian School is an independent, not-for-profit organization, and as such, depends solely on tuition and fees that our parents pay.  We do not receive funds from the government, a church or any other entity.  Since enrollment varies from year to year and costs don’t fluctuate significantly whether we have many students or few, we hold two major fundraisers a year to help keep tuition affordable for parents.  We hold one fundraiser in the spring, our auction/dinner, and one in the fall, our serve-a-thon.  It is very important that each family is a participant in and contributes to these two fundraising activities.  If these are successful, we are able to keep the tuition the same throughout the school year.  If we didn’t have these fundraisers, when enrollment is lower, we would have to raise tuition rates mid-year to meet the necessary cost to operate a Christian school.  Next week we will kick-off our fall fundraiser, an incredible opportunity to serve others while raising operating funds for Faith Christian School.  Please be in prayer as to how you can support the important work of FCS by doing your part.  If you have questions about our fundraisers, please contact Mr. Buckingham.  (dbuckingham@faith-christian.org)
