Sarasota Christian is an independent school and does not receive financial support of local or federal tax dollars. In fact, SCS is entirely dependent on revenue from tuition and the generosity of our current and past parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, and community friends in private gifts.

SCS Annual Fund

The SCS Fund, our Annual Giving Program, plays an invaluable role in providing enrichment opportunities for our students and faculty that tuition alone cannot cover. Whether meeting a guest speaker in chapel, working in our state-of-the-art media center, participating in a hands-on field trip, or learning material from dedicated and caring faculty, the SCS Fund helps our children reach their full potential as students, artists, musicians, leaders and athletes. Your support of the SCS Fund makes it all possible and impacts every corner of campus.

We are proud of Sarasota Christian School’s culture of philanthropy and strong community support! Please join our Board of Directors and faculty and staff by making a gift to the SCS Fund today.

Endowment Giving

An endowment is the financial foundation of all successful educational institutions. These funds ensure the future of SCS by investing donations and requiring that the principal remain intact. This allows the school to invest the interest income into additional programs and opportunities for students. Endowments function as a permanent financial resource from which only part of the income is spent on an annual basis. Gifts to any of our five endowment funds secure future funding for SCS.

General Endowment

General endowment funds support the area of greatest need for Sarasota Christian School.

Charles & Ruth Shue Endowment

This endowment provides tuition assistance to families who desire a Christian education and have significant financial need.

Clayton & Omar Mayer Endowment

This endowment supports our tradition of athletic excellence by funding improvements to our athletic offerings as well as maintaining and updating our athletic facilities.

Izzy & Mary Yoder Endowment

This endowment supports and enriches our elementary school programs.

Tony Colton Endowment

This endowment helps provide financial tuition assistance for students in need. Tony Colton was an exemplary SCS student that embodied the ideals upon which Sarasota Christian School is based and fought a valiant battle against cancer.


Capital Fund

Like most Christian schools, the majority of our revenue comes from tuition and annual fund giving.  Yet, these funds alone cannot provide for many of the long-term resources essential to advancing the school.  The Capital Fund supports projects that fall outside to the annual operating budget such as new construction or major renovations.  The school has been blessed over the years with generous donors who have made the addition of each facility possible.  Although buildings are only part of what makes a school outstanding, they are critical to a dynamic learning environment.

Legacy Gifts

Those who remember Sarasota Christian School in their wills, bequests and other estate gifts such as life insurance, annuities, remainder trusts, etc., become members of the 1958 Society and are vital to preserving the future of Sarasota Christian School.

The 1958 Society members have indicated in writing that they have made provisions for Sarasota Christian School in their estate plans. In addition to being a meaningful gift, “planned giving” helps to reduce or eliminate taxes on capital gains and federal estate taxes. Please check with your financial planner or accountant for more details on arranging for a planned gift, and the personal benefits associated with that charitable gift.
