Finances

Crescent City Christian School is a ministry of Celebration Church, a 501-C3 non-profit organization.  Our primary revenue comes from tuition and fees and assistance from Celebration Church.  Since these sources do not cover the entire cost of educating the students, we rely on other resources.

GIFTS/DONATIONS

All donations are tax deductible.

Founders Club – A group of parents, grandparents, and other friends of the school who are aware of the value of a Christian education and therefore stand in the gap each month with a tax-deductible donation to the CCCS program.

Endowments – Provisions made by individuals for the furtherance of the ministry. Endowments may be financial or physical assets given to the overall program or specific aspects such as science, vocation, or tuition assistance.

Memorials – Funds or physical assets given in honor of someone who has preceded the donor in death.

Trusts – Funds placed in the watch care of a financial institution for the purpose of assisting the CCCS program. This is a long-term investment where the principal gift is usually not made available but merely used to generate funds to assist with operations.

Sponsorships – Funds donated for the benefit of a particular individual or facet of the school program.

Tuition Assistance – Funds donated so that those students who would not normally be able to attend CCCS because of financial reasons have the opportunity to do so.

Charitable Gifts – Monies, property, or valuables donated to the school by citizens or businesses.  Click here for detailed information regarding these private donations.

Corporate Gifts – Donations made by corporations, either in conjunction with or on behalf of their employees, or funds made available to educational institutions at large.

Grants – Each year several million dollars is made available to educational institutions but goes unused because no one knows how or where to find it. CCCS is actively seeking organizations, corporations, or individuals who have awarded grants for which we would qualify. It is our intention to actively seek assistance through the writing of grant proposals.

FUNDRAISERS

School-wide – Crescent City Christian School will sponsor 3 school-wide fundraisers. However, the Very Involved Parents (V.I.P.) Group may sponsor additional fundraisers, which will follow guidelines set forth in the operations manual of that organization and be open to optional participation by every family.

Organizational – Each year organizations have need of funds for different projects. Their needs may be met by fundraisers sponsored by the individual organizations or by the VIP. All such fundraisers are subject to administrative approval. The administration considers a certain amount of these projects to be valuable to the learning process but recognizes that no one could possibly take advantage of each and every fundraiser, be supportive, and be good stewards of what God has entrusted to them.
