A gift to the Annual Giving Campaign is the single most important gift to the school each year. Tuition alone is not adequate to fund the programs and services Calvary provides. Every year, the Annual Giving Campaign touches every part of the school: faculty salaries and professional development, financial aid, classroom supplies and facilities enhancements. The generosity of our parents touches each student in real ways every day.

Currently, the Annual Giving Campaign contributes approximately 20% to the operating budget.
We have been blessed to have over 50 years of wonderful gifts from parents, grandparents, family, faculty, staff and friends who support our Annual Fund.

Matching Gifts
Matching Gifts are an incredible way to double, even triple your donation dollars to Calvary through your employer. Many businesses have a certain amount of money set aside for donations and typically like to give to educational institutions and charities their employees are actively involved with. Your human resources department will have more information on how to go about getting a Matching Gift from your company. Typically, they will give you a form to fill out, send back, they will send the school a check. Believe it or not, it’s that simple!

We will also combine your donation along with your employers matching gift for your recognition in the Donor Circles.

Our goal is to achieve 100% participation from all Calvary families, faculty, staff and Board of Trustees. Prayerfully consider your donation to this year's campaign, One Mission, One Vision, One Heart! and help us maintain the standard of excellence upon which Calvary was founded. We are grateful to all of those families, friends and community members who participated in last years successful campaign. Over the last two years, we were able to raise over $110,000 with 53% participation from our families and friends, just imagine what we can do with 100% participation from you this year!

Participation by all is crucial to the success of our campaign. When seeking additional outside funding or gifts from corporations, foundations, and individual donors, Annual Giving participation is closely examined when determining whether to award Calvary a grant or gift. Remember, the amount of the gift is not as important as the school wide participation. The only gift too small is no gift at all.
