Annual Fund

Since its founding in 1983, North Cobb Christian School has relied on the generosity of its parents, grandparents, friends and alumni to help build the campus, support the faculty, and provide the programs that make this school exceptional. While tuition is the school’s main source of operating revenue, it covers only a portion of what is needed to provide the outstanding academics, art, athletics and student life which has defined us as one of the largest private schools in the Atlanta area. While it is important to look to and plan for the future, we must first be intentional of our needs today. Sustained growth of the All In Eagles Annual Fund will ensure immediate needs are always met, which in turn helps NCCS attract community and foundation resources to move into the future.

YES!

Participation in the All In Eagles Annual Fund makes the difference between a good school and an excellent school. Beyond the immediate needs met by the dollars raised, high participation rates make a bold statement to those in our community and are often the deciding factor in corporate and foundational giving. In other words, third-party funders want to know what level of investment we are making in ourselves, before they will consider supporting us as well.

The annual fund raises critical, unrestricted dollars to supplement the operational budget that are used TODAY.

Capital campaigns meet building, major renovation and endowment needs (bricks & mortar) that are vitally important for improvement and expansion for TOMORROW.

Both are important as NCCS must continue to fund operating needs today while simultaneously making major acquisitions and improvements to fulfill our mission for the future.

At NCCS, our operational budget is balanced each year through tuition and program fees. However, these funds cover only the basics of running the school. If tuition was increased to cover the full cost of the exceptional education students receive, many families could not afford to send their children to NCCS, thus changing the intentional culture of our school drastically.

The Annual Fund campaign helps NCCS keep tuition increases to a minimum. It provides the opportunity to go beyond the basics covered by our budget to fund exceptional academics, arts, athletics and student life which has defined us as one of the largest private schools in the Atlanta area. Annual Fund gifts, which are tax deductible, help bridge the gap between the basics covered by tuition and the true cost of educating a student.

The All In Eagles Annual Fund is THE most important fundraiser for North Cobb Christian School. While all opportunities presented to parents to support specific areas of the school are important, the annual fund raises critical unrestricted dollars to help support a broad range of immediate needs. As such, parents are asked to consider their support to the All In Eagles Annual Fund first and foremost.

No. The Georgia Private School Tax Credit Program restricts the use of the funds given through GOAL. All In Eagles Annual Fund gifts, by definition, are unrestricted.
