An Overview of Giving at RCS
The impact of philanthropic giving is evident throughout our campus and in the lives of our students and alumni. Charitable giving to Resurrection Christian School has provided significant enhancements to our academic, spiritual formation, and extracurricular programs, along with making improvements to our facilities, technology, and equipment.
The solicitation of tax-deductible donations is intended to enable our families and friends to give based on ability and calling to grow RCS, rather than by a larger annual tuition increase. Tuition provides a wonderful and extensive operating budget for RCS. Charitable giving provides additional resources each year in our ceaseless pursuit of excellence.
In short: tuition sustains much of RCS today. Generosity bridges the gap and helps RCS become even more of what God has called it to be tomorrow.
The RCS Annual Fund
The RCS Annual Fund represents a pool of charitable gifts donated through fundraising programs and events that include the RCS Annual Giving Campaign, Giving Tuesday, the RCS Gala, the FORE!RCS Golf Tournament, and other activities. By pooling this gift revenue together, the RCS Board and staff leadership have the ability to evaluate a larger total sum of gift revenue and strategically prioritize where to invest these monies each year.
RCS is always striving to improve and raise the level of value we provide to students, families, and donors. Giving to our RCS Annual Fund campaigns and annual events provide the financial resources for the purchase of capital expenditures in the areas of:

RCS Corporate Partner Program
August 2026-July 2027
The Corporate Partner Program offers local businesses a powerful way to connect with the RCS community while supporting our mission. Partners are showcased to RCS families, visitors, and supporters through campus signage, digital ScoreVision ads at high school athletic events, our website, weekly newsletter, social media, and the Cougar Business Directory — an effective way to promote products or services while investing in Christian education.
Planned Giving
You make a life-changing and eternal impact on the future by including Resurrection Christian School in your estate or other major planned gifts.
The RCS Legacy Society honors those who have included RCS in their estate plans. Please contact us if RCS is already a part of your estate plan or if you are considering doing so in the future. RCS treasures the opportunity to discuss planned giving and estate planning strategies that work best for you and your family. RCS also partners with your financial planning, tax, or legal advisors to tailor a planned gift to RCS that meets your objectives.
One of the simplest strategies is to add RCS to your will, bequest, or trust documents. You can choose to leave RCS a percentage, a specific amount, specific pieces of property, or the residual of your estate after providing for your heirs.
Individualized Education (I-ed)
Now in only its fourth year, RCS’s Individualized Education Program (I-Ed) has quickly demonstrated the depth of need among RCS families and throughout Northern Colorado. I-Edcurrently serves more than 140 RCS students—a number that continues to grow—using best-in-class assessments of cognitive, academic, and oral language abilities. These results help the I-Edteam create a customized learning plan for each student.
The program offers 40 classes and small groups each day, including English Strategies, Math Strategies, Shepherd’s Study Hall, the Resilience Program, Executive Functioning Coaching, and individualized tutoring. Because families pay additional fees for these specialized services, gifts to I-Ed help provide financial assistance so more students can receive the individualized support they need to thrive. A gift to the I-Ed Program helps RCS sustain and grow this vital work, richly blessing students and families. Contact Lindsey Bustamante at lbustamante@rcschool.org for more information.
