Give to CK
Giving Opportunities
CK ANNUAL APPEAL
The Annual Appeal is CK's program of unrestricted giving that sustains the school and is vital to maintaining CK's tradition of excellence. The fund enhances resources for student scholarships and tuition loan funds for families in need. The interest earned on donations to the Annual Appeal are reinvested into several different areas - 25% are reinvested into the Scholarship Fund, 25% are reinvested into the Endowment Fund and 25% are reinvested into Capital Improvements. The remaining 25% is reinvested to maintain moderate tuition levels for students and families who may not otherwise be able to afford a CK Catholic education.
SCHOLARSHIP DONATIONS
The CK Endowment Fund provides long-term support for the mission of Christ the King. The Endowment Fund is never spent - only the interest earnings are utilized each year. The majority of the interest earned is used to help keep the overall cost of tuition down. The balance of the interest is reinvested. Gifts to the Endowment Fund continue to help CK for many years to come
