Funding the Future of Christ-Centered Learning
The Chicago Christian Schools Foundation serves as a lasting legacy for supporters, turning each gift into a source of ongoing impact for the schools’ future. Guided by its Board of Directors, the fund’s assets are carefully managed so that only the investment income is used, creating a reliable, annual source of financial support that directly benefits students and programs.
A Strong Foundation
for Years to Come
Since its inception in 1988, the Chicago Christian Schools Foundation’s assets have grown from an initial gift of $100 to more than $10 million. To date, we’ve gifted more than $6.5 million to the schools, and we’ve projected a gift of $450,000 for the 2026-27 school year. The Chicago Christian Schools Foundation also manages a variety of investments that provide sponsorship support to CCS organizations and scholarships to college-bound graduating seniors.
“I am thankful to be part of a learning community that focuses on God’s centrality and the role each of us plays in His world. CCS is committed to making a lasting impact on the lives of each student and family.”
