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 extra-curricular programs, along with making improvements to our facilities, technologies 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.
The Cougar Fund
The Cougar Fund represents a pool of charitable gifts donated through fundraising programs and events that include the Cougar Fund 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 Cougar Fund campaigns and annual events provide the financial resources for the purchase of capital expenditures in the areas of:
- Technology: Classroom technology and equipment, student computing
- Performing Arts: Equipment, supplies, technology, instruments, equipment, repairs, and maintenance
- Athletics: Uniforms, equipment, facility maintenance, and improvements
- Equipment: Recurring needs for replacing desks, chairs, tables
- Tuition Assistance: For deserving families with demonstrated financial need
- Teachers: Attracting, retaining, and supporting outstanding teachers
- Security & Health: Technology, equipment, training, and staffing to ensure the safety and well-being of students and employees

Giving Opportunities
Special Projects
Special project funding makes it possible for RCS to launch or grow the new initiatives that are a part of our 2021-2026 Strategic Plan. Current special projects of a larger scale include:
- Individualized Education, or "I-ed" Program: Launch of new programs for special needs and gifted students, while also serving all students by evaluating and creating an individualized learning plan for them.
- Cougar Country Farms: During the summer of 2022, RCS acquired five acres of ground just 3 miles east of campus to launch our vocational programs. Gifts in support of equipment, supplies, materials, and much more are in need as we develop this unique opportunity.
- Cougar Teachers Graduate Scholarship Fund: Enhancing the Dual Credit course offerings is a critical area of academic program growth for RCS. This fun provides scholarship support for current teachers to obtain graduate study level requirements in order to increase the number of Dual Credit course offerings via RCS teachers.
Capital Projects
Capital project gifts are designated for our more large-scale projects. These projects strategically prioritize growth and innovation on our campus by renovating existing spaces or new facility construction. Such bold moves allow RCS to make significant leaps forward in the programs and activities we offer in academics, athletics, and fine arts. Current examples of such projects include:
- Significant work is to be done on our varsity gym floor and pads along the walls.
- Large renovations to our middle school gym and auditorium are necessary to make better use of the space for chapels, band and theater performances, and middle school athletic programs.
- New construction of a high school for 800 students.
- New construction of a state-of-the-art athletic complex.
