The cash cost of operation for Grace Christian School is as high as $40k per year above tuition and fees collected. In addition to meeting any cash expenses not covered by designated gifts, Grace Baptist Church provides the buildings, grounds, vehicles, equipment, administrative and office staff, and janitorial services. We request that you join us in prayer that this balance will be raised during the school year. Your gifts to GCS are tax-deductible. Some local companies offer matching funds for 501(c)3 organizations. GCS can qualify for these matching gifts. Help us locate these companies. Gifts to the tuition assistance fund are also tax-deductible. Please address any questions regarding finances of the school to the principal, pastors or office manager. Perhaps you have been blessed and contribute to our Tuition Assistance Fund.
