Giving, Opportunities and Scholarships

Why Your Gifts Are Needed
Christian Life Academy is funded only by tuition and the gifts of our supporters. Tuition covers less than half of the real cost of education. The Earl F. Tygert Memorial Scholarship Fund was established in 1988 in order to help provide scholarship funding for children who otherwise could not attend Christian Life Academy. All gifts are tax deductible.  Please contact the school if you would like to make a gift.

Business Contributions – Tax Credit up to 100%!
You can send your tax dollars to a Christian School in Pennsylvania!

How the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Works

1. Any business in PA that pays these taxes can contribute:

• Corporate Net Income Tax
• Capital Stock Franchise Tax
• Bank and Trust Company Shares Tax
• Title Insurance Companies Shares Tax
• Insurance Premiums Tax
• Mutual Thrift Institutions Tax

2. Determine your tax liability. 90%-100% of the EITC contribution will be immediately approved as a tax credit. The application is one simple page. All the information is available on the state site www.newpa.com – search on EITC.

3. Make the contribution to an approved Scholarship Organization— The
Christian Life Scholarship Fund. We distribute funds to a variety of
private schools in Pennsylvania.

4. The Christian Life Scholarship Fund issues a receipt to you; you forward this to the state. The state issues your tax credit.

5. The Christian Life Scholarship Fund distributes your contribution directly to approved families for scholarships at your designated school.

Annual Fund Raisers

The Incredible Free Car Wash
Since the mid nineteen eighties CLA has been holding a Free Car Wash each September. Students gain sponsorship for each car washed. Parents and students turn out to wash more than 350 cars each year, raising approximately $20,000 annually.

The Fall Banquet
The Fall Banquet is an exciting and enriching time for families, friends and donors to come together each fall. A superb meal and an inspiring program is always in store for our guests. This is our opportunity to say “thank you” to the many friends who generously support Christian Life Academy. This is also an opportunity for our contributors to begin or to renew their commitment to support quality Christian education in our area.

The Spring Matching Campaign
Christian Life Academy has been blessed with friends who provide a significant matching gift for the school each year. This matching gift is made in order to encourage others to multiply their contribution to the school.
