The GCCS Foundation
Supporting Christian Education
The GCCS Foundation manages more than $5.5 million in assets. Approximately $200,000 is granted annually to Grandville Calvin Christian Schools for the benefit of all enrolled students.
“I can honestly say that even in the midst of financial struggles, my tuition payment to Grandville Christian School is the best bill I pay each month! I am so grateful for a caring, Christian school where my kids not only learn about a loving God who provides for His children, but experience it daily in so many practical ways through the teachers and staff.” – Katie Payano, GCCS Parent
Consider a Charitable Donation

- Gifts are tax-free up to $100,000 per year
- IRA owner must be age 70½ or older
- Gifts qualify for all or part of required minimum distributions (RMD)
- Gifts must be made directly to a charity
- Gifts may only be from traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs
For more information about these opportunities, head over to the GCCS Giving Options page and/or contact Jill Boomstra, Development Director of Grandville Calvin Christian.
