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 Christian is blessed by the contributions of grandparents, former parents, alumni, local businesses, and members of supporting churches.

Planned gifts:  Many supporters have made provision for Calvin Christian in their wills, sharing a final, powerful testimony of their commitment to the school's 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 Christian are placed in the Trust Fund, unless otherwise designated by the donor.  Contributions to the Calvin Christian Trust Fund are held in perpetuity to ensure the long-term financial health of CCS.  A portion of the interest earned annually is retained to grow the endowment, while the remainder is used for special educational projects and financial aid. 

Planned gifts usually involve the assistance of professionals, such as an accountant, attorney, or financial planner.  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.
