Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How much should we give?

A. It is hoped that parents, grandparents and friends will give as generously as possible to North Cobb Christian School. Every single gift, regardless of the amount, is valued.

Q. What is the difference between annual giving (Eagles Annual Fund) and capital and/or endowed giving?

A. The Eagles Annual Fund is currently used to provide the difference between tuition and what our school programs actually cost. Capital funds are for facilities, building endowment, and special projects.

Q. What are expectations for parent contributions?

A. We hope that every current parent will make the Eagles Annual Fund a priority. Since each student benefits from the fund, we ask all parents to give to the best of their ability. Even if families receive financial aid, it is hoped that they will make a gift in order to join in the common mission of demonstrating community support for the school.
