Blaze A Trail Vision Dinner

Sponsorship of a student’s Christian education is one of the most treasured gifts a child can receive and a most fulfilling experience for the donor.  It is truly a “living” investment.  In today’s economy, some parents are faced with making the painful decision of removing their child from Christian education or choosing which child may attend a Christian school over another.   Thank you for your consideration of this all-important option of the campaign.  Many donors choose to make monthly donations to meet the need of one student desiring Christian education, who would not have had this opportunity otherwise.

Please note that all tax-deductible donations cannot be directed to a specific child’s tuition.  If you would like further information regarding the criteria for distributing sponsorship funds, please contact the school office by phone or email.

Planned gift instruments can allow a donor to keep the earning power of the asset and take a tax deduction, potentially get a portion of their income back tax-free, all while giving away their asset, making the charitable gift, receiving benefits, and getting an income for the rest of their life.

Examples of planned gift instruments: Charitable Gift Annuity, An Annuity Trust, Charitable Unitrust, Simple Will Bequest, Life Estates

This is not an exhaustive list but examples of the most popular instruments in use today.  There may be better options depending on your individual needs.  If you wish to learn more about the technical side of one or more of these instruments we can offer a free consultation or seminar with our Licensed Financial Planner liaison.  Please contact the office by phone or email to schedule an appointment.

Honorariums (or Memorial gifts) are monetary gifts that serve as a tribute donation honoring a loved one or a friend in a unique and meaningful way.  A special gift to ACS is a great way to commemorate a life past by recognizing the important role our work plays in the lives of current students and staff.  Gifts can be made by individuals or on behalf of groups such as neighbors or co-workers.

To make a donation in memory of a loved one, simply designate by marking your online gift or pledge card accordingly.  You will receive a tax receipt for the full amount of your donation immediately by email.

All donations are appreciated; however, pledges are important to permit ACS to budget each year.  With greater contributions, ACS can add programs, staff or services to our school.
