Voluntary giving is vital to Christian education and an important tradition here at Abundant Life Christian School. We have been able to depend upon the generosity of our families, alumni and friends to help provide a Christ-centered education for our children since the school was founded in 1978. The "Blessed to Be a Blessing" annual fund is a tax-deductible way of funding opportunities that aren't possible through tuition and fees alone. Other efforts that assist us in delivering a quality Christian education include: the Scholarship/Financial Aid Fund, Serve-A-Thon, Scrip, fund-raising events, special campaigns and planned gifts.

Our goal is to develop programs that are beneficial to the donor as well as to the school. We seek to build relationships that provide donors with opportunities to give joyfully. We are committed to handling all financial gifts to ALCS with the utmost integrity. Accountability is maintained through the ALCS Finance Committee and through an annual financial audit by an outside CPA firm.

Annual Fund: "Blessed to Be a Blessing" annual fund gifts are the primary means of bridging the gap between the cost of educating each student and the amount covered by tuition/fees. Every ALCS family is asked to prayerfully consider supporting the annual fund by joining one of the three teams explained below.  

Two Mites Team
- Based on Mark 12:41-44
- Designed for families who genuinely need the subsidy to afford ALCS education
- Gifts of any amount qualify

Second Mile Team
- Based on Mark 5:41
- Designed for families who are financially blessed enough to pay the full cost of ALCS education for their own children
- Gifts of $1,000/student qualify

Above and Beyond Team
- Based on II Corinthians 9:6-11
- Designed for families who have been prospered by God and desire to bless other families above and beyond the cost of their own children's education
- Gifts exceeding $1,000/student qualify

All unrestricted gifts to the "Blessed to Be a Blessing" annual fund are fully tax deductible.

Planned Giving: The greatest acts of financial stewardship often occur through planned gifts. Wise use of planned gifts can save thousands of dollars in estate and income taxes. The ALCS Planned Giving Program exists to assist donors in making gifts of stock, insurance, or other appreciated assets, endowment gifts and estate planning gifts including gifts made through wills and trusts. Always consult legal and tax advisors when making planned gifts.
