Put simply, Eastern Christian’s Annual Fund is the account that pays for unexpected or major expenses not covered by tuition. When spending is required for facilities updates or new equipment that helps improve and advance our school, the Annual Fund closes that gap between the true cost of an excellent Christ-centered education and the cost of tuition. When you give an unrestricted gift to the Annual Fund, know that your donation is going to where it is needed most at EC.
The Eastern Christian School Endowment Fund was established in 1960 to provide a permanent source of income for EC to help keep Christian education affordable for generations to come.
When giving to the Endowment Fund, donors should understand that the actual amount of their gift will be retained to grow the principal balance of the fund, and the annual earnings from the full endowment are what is used to pay for operating expenses and tuition aid. This way, the Endowment Fund can keep growing and giving in perpetuity.
Many endowment contributions over the years have been given in loving memory or in honor of a loved one, or as the result of someone’s dedication and commitment to Eastern Christian. These gifts continue to be a source of blessing to EC and help provide quality Christian education for all of our students today and in the future.
Gifts to the Endowment Fund are truly gifts that keep on giving. Give a gift in memory or in honor of a loved one.
From time to time, the Eastern Christian School Board of Directors approves the organization of a Capital Campaign to finance major developments to better serve our students and families. These significant initiatives have included new construction, major renovations to existing buildings, and meaningful upgrades to our three campuses.
More important than what has been built, however, is the profound impact these capital projects have had on our students and graduates. Due to the outpouring of prayers and financial support for more than 130 years, thousands of children have made Jesus Christ the most important person in their life, and they are loving the Lord their God with all their heart, mind, soul and strength.
