Support WCA

“I cannot overstate the profound impact WCA has had on my life. The school has been a cornerstone in shaping my character, instilling in me a deep sense of responsibility, and a commitment to serve others.”

– WCA Alumna and Donor

Why Give to WCA?

For more than 60 years, WCA has been a place where students develop a distinctively Christian world view in an academically rigorous learning environment that enables them to grow, thrive, and become ambassadors of Christ in their homes, churches, communities and future workplaces.

Fundraising is key to meeting our annual operating budget, investing in technology and the growth and development of our students and faculty, and putting the school on a firm financial foundation for the next 60+ years.

Immediate Need: Fall Appeal 2025

Your support through the Fall Appeal 2025 will preserve essential programs, support families who value a Christ-centered education, and sustain the dedicated teachers who make WCA such a special community.

Corporate Matching Gifts

Many corporations offer matching gift programs through which a portion of your gift to a charitable organization is matched by the corporation. Check with your employer’s Human Resources or Payroll department to see if they will match your donation to WCA.

It is helpful to alert Washington Christian Academy via email if your employer is making a matching gift, so that we may advise you of its receipt. The email address is donate@washingtonchristian.org.

Donor-advised Funds

A donor-advised fund, or DAF, enables you to designate funds to causes you care about. You can contribute cash, securities and other assets to a DAF and get an immediate tax deduction, then decide where to donate your funds over time. To contribute to WCA from your DAF, search for “Washington Christian School Society Inc.” in the list of charities.

IRA Distributions

If you are 70½ years old or older, you can give money to WCA directly from your IRA without having to pay taxes on your donation, up to the annual IRS limit. This is called a “qualified charitable distribution” or “QCD.” See your IRA provider for details.

Bequests: Wills, Estates, Trusts

You may wish to name WCA for a financial gift in your will, estate or living trust. Your estate planner and/or attorney can help.
