Why do we raise money?
The cost of a CVCA experience is more than the cost of tuition. This “gap” is part of our long legacy of generosity. Our founders believed Christian education must be accessible to families. With thoughtful prayer and stewardship of the gifts we have, we ask you to join in keeping the CVCA experience possible for families by filling the gap with giving. Your gifts directly impact tuition assistance for families and help fill this purposeful difference between tuition and actual cost. Every year, we show our students and community how God uses His people in this culture of generosity. The Royal Evening is a celebration and fundraiser that pulls our community together in this united purpose! More than 1.3 million dollars of tuition assistance was given last year. These funds are not used for construction costs, renovations, extracurriculars, or other enhancements, but instead go directly toward helping CVCA remain accessible to families seeking Christian education. Join us at the Royal Evening to celebrate and learn more about how you can play a part in this legacy.
