"Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
LEAVE A LEGACY TO LAST A LIFETIME
In the earliest days of Jesus’s ministry, the Lord used philanthropy from others to support the disciples with food, drink, clothing and shelter. Today, philanthropy is an important lesson we teach our students and families. Whether you have been blessed with many riches or you are the woman who gave her last penny in Jesus’s teaching – we know God uses others’ generosity.
GCA simply cannot carry out needed capital improvements, amplify our academic, athletic and art offerings, and strengthen our student support on tuition alone. Donor support is crucial to the student experience at GCA, and we hope you will choose to join us.

CAMPAIGNS
GCA offers two large campaigns each year that families and friends can participate in.
One Grace takes place each fall as our annual GCA Fund Kick-off Event. We announce our GCA goal for the year, and GCA families are asked to participate. Last year, we raised more than $200,000 through our One Grace Campaign and Dinner.
Ram Fun Run is our spring fundraising event. Students ask friends, family members, and neighbors to sponsor them in our Ram Fun Run. Last year, we raised more than $100,000 through this special event.
Why support the GCA Fund?
At Grace Christian Academy, one of the ways we seek to partner with families is by maintaining affordable tuition rates while providing a quality education founded upon a biblical worldview. Gifts to the GCA Fund play a strategic role in this process by allowing us to do more with the resources that we have been blessed with.
As we seek to honor God with the funds entrusted to us, educational opportunities are enhanced through upgraded technology, classroom furnishings, increased security, and so much more.
Does my gift make a difference?
Yes! A variety of campus-wide improvements are made possible by the GCA Fund each year. Through the generosity of donors just like you, gifts small and large are multiplied to accomplish God-sized work on our campus. We humbly ask you to consider a gift to the ministry of Grace Christian Academy knowing that your investment will leave a spiritual legacy in hundreds of lives now and for generations to come.
GCA Fund Goal
Our faculty and staff have been encouraged to “dream big” when they think of the future of Grace Christian Academy. As we trust God for His continued work on our campus, we invite you to see highlights of completed projects and a list of future projects that we hope to accomplish in the future below.
We are trusting Him to do “immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20) and invite you to be a part of this life-changing ministry.
