We rely on the generosity of God's people to keep education at Calvin Christian School as affordable as possible. In addition to the support of current parents, Calvin is blessed by the contributions of grandparents, former parents, alumni, local businesses, and members of supporting churches (below).

Most contributions to Calvin Christian School
fit into one of three categories.

• Annual fund gifts
  Annual fund contributions help pay the day-to-day expenses of operating the school and reduce the costs of education that must be borne by parents through their Fair Share pledges.
  
  
• Campaign contributions and pledges
  Over the years, the Calvin community has stepped forward with generous support for major program and facility enhancements. The current Sharing in the Vision Campaign will, as God blesses, allow CCS to complete expansion at the Edina elementary campus, continue developing the high school program, and begin an endowment fund for financial aid.

• Planned and estate gifts
  Many supporters have made provision for Calvin in their wills, sharing a final, powerful testimony of their commitment to the continued ministry of Christian education. Planned gifts such as charitable trusts and gift annuities are another way to contribute to CCS. Donors often find that planned gifts allow them to make significant donations while providing them with tax advantages or sources of income.
  
  Most planned gifts and bequests to Calvin are placed in the Calvin Christian Trust Fund, where they are held in perpetuity, helping to ensure the long-term financial health of CCS. A portion of the interest earned annually is retained to grow the Trust Fund, while the remainder is used for special educational projects.
  
  Planned gifts usually involve the assistance of professionals, such as an accountant, attorney, or financial planner, to complete. Calvin Christian is a member of the Barnabas Foundation, a Christian organization that provides free expert and confidential advice on estate planning and planned giving.

Supporting Churches

Supporting churches actively encourage and promote Christian education at CCS for their families, facilitate communication between the church and the school, and provide significant financial support to the school.

CCS currently has supporting church relationships with three congregations: Calvary Christian Reformed Church in Edina, Faith Christian Reformed Church in New Brighton, and Redeemer Reformed Church in Golden Valley.
