If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income — and for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! By using the link below to give from your IRA, you can auto-complete your paperwork and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations today. This tool automatically links with your DAF, allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used and notifies us of your intentions.  Using the link below to grant from your DAF also saves us a lot of time, so thank you! It’s a great way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for immediate needs.

We now accept donations of Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other cryptocurrencies! This gives us one more way to fund our work and can provide you with extra tax benefits.

The Annual Fund is essential to the quality you see in our pursuit to offer each student an excellent education in a Christ-centered environment through our rigorous biblical teaching, our competitive Eagles athletic program, our creative performing arts department, and our dedicated faculty and staff. Tuition alone does not cover the full cost of educating our students. 

Gifts of any size make an impact in the life of a CVCS student. Maximizing participation is a testament to our donors’ belief in what we are doing and a statement to foundations, corporations, and prospective students and donors that CVCS comprises a community actively involved in advancing its mission.

Yes! Our goal is 100% participation by parents, board members, and faculty and staff. Every gift makes a difference. By making a gift to the Annual Fund, you have the unique opportunity to make an immediate impact on the students and school. Gifts to the Annual Fund go directly to the operating budget. Your generosity helps CVCS provide the support necessary for operations and growth.

Capistrano Valley Christian Schools is a registered 501(C)(3) entity. Your contribution is tax-deductible as allowed by law. Federal Tax ID 86-1090779.
