Eagle Legacy Fund

Your gift to the Eagle Legacy Fund directly supports the yearly operating budget of Eastside Christian School. Greater investment in the Eagle Legacy Fund decreases the school’s dependency on tuition and fees to fund our program, which allows us to keep tuition as affordable and accessible as possible. While we highlight the Eagle Legacy Fund during the late fall and early winter, gifts may be made at any time. Many families choose to donate via automatic payroll deduction (contact Director of Finance, David McKinney, or your employer for details). You may make your Eagle Legacy Fund gift here.

What are the primary areas that the Eagle Legacy Fund benefits?

  • Teachers: By far our most important resource, ECS teachers define our culture of learning, growth, and spiritual formation. Your investment in the Eagle Legacy Fund helps support teacher compensation, satisfaction, and professional growth. We want to draw the very best teachers to our school and we want to retain them with a professional culture that is healthy, joyful, and properly-resourced.
  • Transformation: Students learn best when they have the tools and support needed to grow academically, spiritually, and emotionally. Your investment in the Eagle Legacy Fund helps us provide technology, classroom supplies, outdoor equipment, and off-campus experiences that help us make learning come alive and carry out our mission of providing academic excellence with a commitment to Christ.
  • Tuition Assistance: While independent education is a significant investment, we do not want to be a school that only the wealthy can afford. We want Eastside Christian to be a school that is accessible to a broad range of families, no matter their financial situation. Our investment in tuition assistance helps cover a portion of the cost of attendance for families who may otherwise not consider ECS. This assistance is so important in opening opportunities and contributing to the overall life of the school.

Your Donation Today Continues the
Legacy of Excellence in Education at ECS Tomorrow!

Donations earmarked for the Eagle Legacy Fund during the 2023-24 school year will be added to the ECS Endowment Fund, a permanent endowment fund that exists to support the long-term financial stability of Eastside Christian School.  Through the faithfulness of past generations, we currently have $22,800 in our permanent endowment as of October, 2023. Our goal during the 2023-24 school year is to raise an additional $50,000.

The Endowment Fund is managed by the ECS Finance Committee and the Director of Finance with oversight from the ECS Board.  The ECS Board, with direction from the school leadership, works together to determine the best use of the distributable funds each year during the budget preparation cycle.  Investment returns will be used to support school operations, including salary enhancement, financial aid support, facility improvements, or other items that support the school.
