SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT

Thank you for your interest in supporting New Life Christian Academy.  Whether you are a parent, grandparent, or a friend of New Life, you can  make a difference. Gifts of all sizes help us accomplish our mission of  providing excellent classical education founded upon a biblical  worldview. Your generous gifts ensure that NLCA will be positioned for  years to come to provide an excellent Christ-centered and college  preparatory educational experience for our students.

New Life Christian Academy is a private, non-profit 501c3 corporation  that operates without financial support from federal or local taxes. It  is through the generous, voluntary, and tax-deductible gifts of current  NLCA families, grandparents, alumni, alumni parents, and friends that we  are able to equip our students to become lifetime learners and leaders  in service to our Lord.

Do you share our vision? Through cash gifts, pledges, and stock  transfers to in-kind donations and bequests, every gift we receive is an  investment that will shape the lives of young people now and in the  future.  Thank you for partnering with us to provide Christ-centered  education in excellence.

 The Annual Fund is the cornerstone of New Life Christian Academy’s  Development Department. Your contribution to the Annual Fund plays a  vital role in keeping our commitment to provide students with an  outstanding academic and extra-curricular education taught from a  Christian worldview. Our tuition and fees only cover 90% of New Life  Christian Academy’s operating expenses, so the annual fund is essential  in providing needed funds. Your donation will directly provide benefits  to our faculty and students by:

• Preserving Small Class Sizes
• Funding Enrichment Programs
• Attracting and Retaining High Quality Educators
• Supplementing Fine Arts, Science Programs, Global and Cultural Programs, Foreign Language and other Co-curricular endeavors
• Furthering Technology in the Classroom

In addition, your participation influences the support of foundations  and other corporations. The external community bases their donation  decisions on the level of participation by our families. A healthy  school is a place that foundations are willing to give grants and  funding. We are looking for 100% participation in the annual fund each  year.

Thank you for caring for your children. NLCA&PS is an  amazing place because of our families. As outsiders walk through the  halls of the school the most common response heard is, “The children  look so happy!!” The wonderful teachers we have impart wisdom, knowledge  and God’s love to your children. Your contribution makes this possible.  Thank you for your support.

All gifts to the Annual Fund are 100% tax deductible.

Each year, New Life Christian Academy 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 our  students have exceptional opportunities in the areas of academics,  athletics, and the arts. The Annual Fund runs all year long, every year,  and is a vital part of ’s operations. Through contributions to the  Annual Fund, we can purchase much-needed items such as textbooks,  technology upgrades, instruments, and countless other necessities for  the students. As well, we can hire more teachers to keep our ratios low,  compensate our teachers appropriately, and improve our professional  development fund.

  Why doesn't the school simply raise tuition and do away with the Annual Fund?
By augmenting tuition with Annual Fund Donations, we can keep tuition  costs more affordable for more families. In addition, voluntary support  is a primary indicator of any school's health. The Annual Fund is an  important way families show renewed support every year and this is very  important to foundations as we apply for grants and other donations.

How do Annual Fund gifts differ from Capital gifts?
The Annual Fund campaign is ongoing. Since its inception, New Life  Christian Academy has appealed to the New Life family to make an  investment on behalf of the school's present and future students with a  gift to the Annual Fund. By definition, Annual Fund reserves are  unrestricted and are used to fund current operations. The Annual Fund is  money the school lives by. The dollars can be allocated where they are  needed. On the other hand, Capital gifts fund new facilities and are  typically restricted to a specific project.

Is my Annual Fund donation tax deductible? Can it be matched by my company? Can I give stock?
Your gifts are tax deductible, and many corporations have matching gift  programs that will "double" your contribution. Many people choose to  give appreciated stock, and therefore avoid capital gains tax. We are  delighted to take stock contributions. Please call the Development  Office at Office Phone: 910-868-9640 for more information.

Why do you solicit each year for the Annual Fund?
The funds raised in annual giving are generally used within one year of  when they are raised, and are used to support the annual operating  budget of the school.
