GIVING Opportunities

The Annual Fund

The Annual Fund is GAC's most important giving initiative. While tuition income covers 85% of GAC’s expenses, the Annual Fund provides the remaining funds needed to enrich teaching, inspire learning, and expand GAC's unique, faith-infused educational experiences each year.

Capital Giving

Your unwavering support and commitment to the improvement of our facilities, teacher development, and student scholarships makes all the difference for the entire GAC experience.

Gift Planning

Plan while making a lasting impact at Greater Atlanta Christian School. Gift Planning provides meaningful ways to support GAC through estate plans, wills, trusts, or other planned gifts that help sustain the school’s mission for generations to come. Through the Legacy Society, families and individuals can leave a legacy of faith, generosity, and opportunity for future students.

Education Tax Credits

Support our students by redirecting a portion of your Georgia state income taxes to GAC through a 100% state income tax credit. Your contribution helps provide financial aid for deserving families seeking a GAC education while strengthening our school community.

GAC Endowment

Greater Atlanta Christian School’s endowment is a perpetual source of support for the school and its mission of raising children as Jesus did; in wisdom, and stature, and in favor with God and men. The endowment remains one of the largest sources of revenue supporting GAC’s operating budget.

“Why would I tell another parent to put their resources in GAC? Because of the foundation of faith that GAC develops in your child’s life and their future. The environments they create, the relationships students build with peers and friends, and the opportunity to grow in faith are things you simply can’t put a price tag on. Oftentimes you give and you hope, but GAC has a culture, legacy, and tradition of making a great impact.” – Stanford Phillips
GAC Parent and Class of 1998 Alumnus
