Annual Fund
Why the Annual Fund?
Each year, Cary Christian School makes an appeal to all parents, grandparents, local businesses, and friends of the school asking for support for our programs through the Annual Fund. A gift to the Annual Fund enhances the school's resources and ensures that Cary Christian School students have exceptional opportunities in the areas of academics, athletics, and the arts.
The 2007/2008 Annual Fund drive will officially begin in September of 2007 and run until June 30, 2008. We desire everyone’s participation. Whether it is $25 or $2,500, your gift is important! Our goal is to raise $100,000 for the Annual Fund during this academic year. Please consider supporting us in this endeavor. We accept both unrestricted (Area of Greatest Need) and restricted (Family of Funds) gifts.
Area of Greatest Need Fund
The administration will determine where your gift will make the greatest impact, and they will match your gift with the appropriate program.
Cary Christian School Family of Funds
In an attempt to better match your personal philanthropic preferences with our existing needs, we offer restricted giving opportunities. Please decide how your gift will support the school by investing in the Family of Funds. The following funds represent various areas of the school that are enriched by annual gifts. Your gift to the fund of your choice will help ensure excellence in that program for the year ahead.
- Science and Technology Fund
Enriched academic programs are a first step in providing a superior learning environment. To keep pace with the ever-advancing fields of science and technology, there is need for funding in these disciplines at Cary Christian School. Contributions to this fund will go toward laboratory equipment and ongoing computer hardware and software needs.
- Athletics Fund
In addition to learning how to kick or throw a ball, there is much to be learned on the playing field. Students are given the opportunity to learn about the balance of commitment, physical fitness, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Godly character is developed and molded as students test their skills against the opponent and one another. Gifts to this fund will help purchase equipment, uniforms, as well as providing for ongoing maintenance of athletic facilities.
- Financial Aid Fund
Make a lasting difference in the life of a local family! Gifts to the Financial Aid Fund will be used to assist qualified applicants who might otherwise not be able to attend Cary Christian School.
- Friends of the Library Fund
Research is at the heart of any educational institution, and a library filled with books which contain the thoughts of the brightest and the best throughout human history is at the heart of a classical and Christian school. Building the library collection will be an ongoing commitment and challenge in the coming years.
- Fine Arts Fund
Opportunities for our students to be enriched in the areas of drama, choral and instrument performance and art are vital to a well-rounded education. Your gifts in this area will assure that these experiences will be available and that they will be of the highest quality.
