GAC Annual Fund Brochure - 2017

Are you

ALL IN?

Because tuition only covers 85% of the cost of a GAC education, we depend on the Annual Fund to make up the difference.

Annual Fund

Last year, the GAC community was mostly ALL IN: • 100% Board participation • 100% Faculty & Staff participation • 95% Parent participation

GAC Endowment Miscellaneous Income

Celebrate this historic year in a special way by increasing your Annual Fund gift.

This year, there’s an even bigger reason to go All IN so we reach 100% parent participation – in thanksgiving for GAC’s 50th anniversary. Founding president Jesse Long called GAC God’s school, noting, “God raised up leaders, donors, teachers, parents and students…He gave them a dream, a vision of what it would take and showed them how to work together to make it happen.”

Today – 50 years later it’s up to us to continue this work.

To commemorate this historic year, please prayerfully consider increasing your Annual Fund gift over last year. Greater participation at all levels will increase GAC’s ability to enhance your child’s overall educational experience. Every dollar directly impacts our students.

We can’t think of a better way for your family to show you’re ALL IN than to celebrate this milestone with a special anniversary gift.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Luke 12:34.

Annual Fund pays for new plants, fish and fertilizer.

The Annual Fund impacts your child’s experience every day and supports the operating budget in critical ways: • Teacher compensation and professional development • Curricular enhancements in all divisions • New Press Box for Spartan Stadium • Campus security • Two LED screens in Long Forum • New projector and screen for Chapel • 38 ActivPanels for Elementary classrooms • New carpet, paint, and ceiling tiles for the Math Building • Utilities, maintenance, and landscaping
