“Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age.” 1 Timothy 6:18-19a
Pella Christian School’s culture of generosity and gratitude is an extension of our commitment to excellence. Your charitable gifts provide every student with the best education and experience possible. Charitable gifts are necessary to help sustain and expand the mission. It takes a combination of tuition and charitable donations to provide the distinctive qualities a Christ-centered education offers:
- small class sizes
- exemplary teachers
- varied program offerings
- advanced technology
- exceptional facilities
- an unapologetically Christian environment

What is it?
The Pella Christian PIE Auction Fundraiser is fun evening of food and fellowship that raises money to support PC needs. This year funds will be directed towards the new Eagle Fund which empowers all PC Students and Staff from preschool through high school.
How does this work?
While a delicious dinner is served attendees can anonymously give a donation to the Eagle Fund. Table donations are tallied and the total amount is used to bid on over 40 pies and desserts for your table.
Purchase your tickets!
Tickets are $25 per person and sponsorship opportunities are available for businesses or individuals. No physical tickets will be given, simply pay and show up ready for a delicious meal and an exciting pie/cheesecake/dessert auction.
Each spring, we have the opportunity to come together in support of Pella Christian Schools through our annual Help Us Soar campaign. We do so with this year’s school theme, “Empowered by God’s Story” as our foundation.
Your generous contributions will assist in the transformation and enhancement of our places and programs, allowing us to remain focused on our mission and the Lord’s transformation happening in the lives of our students.
We invite you to join us in this endeavor, continuing your legacy of support for an education that not only equips the mind but also transforms the soul. Together, we can ensure that Pella Christian Schools remain a beacon of faith-based learning for future generations. You can be a part of this covenant by donating online at www.pceagles.org/helpussoar or sending in your gift by mail by April 16, 2026 to 300 Eagle Lane, Pella IA 50219.
Please consider giving to Pella Christian to help us meet our goal of raising $150,000 and Help Us Soar!
May God bless each of you!

Giving Funds:
Pella Christian Schools 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 Legacy of Grace STO is easy:
1. DOWNLOAD THE DONATION FORM – 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.
In addition to the STO funds, 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.
