Giving Opportunities:

The Annual Fund raises unrestricted gifts to support the operating budget, which includes instructional materials, programs, equipment and technology, faculty professional development, and facility maintenance. The Annual Fund is tax-deductible whereas tuition is not.

Pella Christian Grade School is a part of the Heart of Iowa STO. Pella Christian High School is a part of the Legacy of Grace STO. STOs provide scholarships for qualifying students at Pella Christian through generous donors.

75% Tax Credit – Your donation to an STO directly reduces your tax obligation to the state of Iowa. For example, a $1,000 donation reduces your taxes by $750. Donors will receive an Iowa Tax Credit Certificate for 75% of the donation. Tax credits are limited.  We recommend donating early to assure availability.

Direct Benefit to PC Students – Dollars donated to an STO and distributed to Pella Christian can only be used to offset tuition. That means you can be assured you have direct impact on the lives of students.

Donating to the Heart of Iowa or Legacy of Grace STO is easy:

1. DOWNLOAD THE DONATION FORM – Heart of Iowa Donation form  or Legacy of Grace Donation Form

2. COMPLETE INFORMATION – fill out the donation form and send in your donation.

3. RECEIVE TAX CREDIT – Donors will receive a tax credit for 75% of their donation when taxes are completed.

Please contact the school office if you are interested in discussing endowment giving options.

In addition to the STOs, Pella Christian seeks to raise an additional funds for needs based assistance.  These monies are given to families who complete an outside agency application. The PC Finance Committees review the application and awards scholarships based on need and the availability of funds.
