Ways to Give
Each of us, whether we are alumni, parents, or friends of Grace Christian School, share the responsibility of continuing the traditions of Academic Excellence in a Christ Centered Environment. By making a donation, you inspire our students and provide them the tools they need to succeed in today’s world. Your generosity keeps the vision of Grace Christian School moving forward. Invest in Grace Christian School, and invest in the future.
Donate by Check
Checks should be made payable to Grace Christian School. If your donation will be designated to a specific area, please note that on the memo line.
Donate Monthly
Recurring, automatic donations are easily accomplished by using our secure online portal. Installments will be automatically processed from your credit card or bank account, which makes giving effortless and is an option that fits any budget. Select " Make this gift recurring" when you are entering your payment information.
Matching Gifts
Thousands of companies match gifts of employees to educational institutions. The donor fills out a form supplied by his or her company and sends it to Grace Christian School along with his or her gift. Matching gifts are credited to the donors’ records; for example, a $500 gift accompanied by a matching-gift form from a company, which matches 1:1 will make a $1,000 gift from the donor.
Memorial Gifts
Gifts to remember or honor a relative or friend are a wonderful way to assist the school’s efforts.
Gifts of Stock
Common stock or other securities are appropriate gifts to be transferred to Grace Christian School. Gifts of appreciated securities may interest donors who have held stock and have seen its value increase significantly. An outright gift of appreciated securities is exempt from capital gains tax and, in most cases, the full fair market value of the securities at the time of transfer can be claimed as a charitable gift deduction. For official tax purpose verification please check with your tax advisor.
A Bequest
A memorial gift can be outlined in your will or added as a codicil. This allows you to perpetuate your personal dedication and remember the good works of Grace Christian School.
You can leave:
A percentage of your estate
The residue of your estate
Identified property
A specific dollar amount
