Annual Giving
Goal $300,000
Southwest Christian School is blessed to have the opportunity to share with our supporters that once again, the SCS Board of Trustees, faculty, and administrative staff have supported the 2009 Annual Fund with 100% participation with over $110,000.00 raised. We celebrate forty years of Christian education; from the vision of a group of mothers in the PAST who recognized the need for Christian education; to the celebration of the PRESENT, a fully accredited, interdenominational institution producing extraordinary results; to the FUTURE asking for God’s continued blessings and guidance. Please prayerfully consider joining us in what God is doing at SCS. The Annual Fund is one of the most important fund raising events of the year. Your participation insures SCS will continue to set the pace for Christian education. Join us today!

Last year, God richly blessed the 2008 Annual Fund with yet another year that exceeded our goal. Again, we are asking our families to consider supporting the SCS Annual Fund. Gifts have been received in increments of $5.00 to $35,000. Your support is as important as your gift. Many foundations not only consider faculty and staff participation but also parent participation when granting funds.
