Fundraising & Donations
Families are seeking physical safety, emotional well-being, and academic excellence in a Christ-centred learning environment for their children. CCS has the ability to provide such a setting for families in the area of Ottawa south and the surrounding communities. Your financial gifts allow us to continue to thrive amidst the uncertainty of today.
You'll see the many benefits of CCS fundraising initiatives and specific donations throughout the school. Tuition assistance, supplemental curriculum, extra supplies, and advances in technology are just some of the extras made possible by fundraising and specific donations. Securing financial support beyond tuition is vital to the ongoing functions of CCS.

Donations
Community Christian School is always delighted to receive donations from supporters. As an independent Christian school, CCS receives no provincial or federal funding and relies on tuition fees as well as fundraisers and donations to meet our budget. Below are the various ways you can help us so that we may continue to offer an excellent academic program to students and tuition assistance to families in need.
DONATE DIRECTLY TO CCS BY CHEQUE
Cheques or money orders can be made payable to Community Christian School and mailed to 2681 Glen Street, Metcalfe, ON, K0A 2P0. Donations made in this manner will result in a charitable-givings tax receipt from CCS. If you would like to allocate your donation to tuition assistance or a special project, please indicate this on the cheque line or in an accompanying note. Unspecified donations will go towards our general revenue.
DONATE BY CREDIT CARD VIA ZEFFY
Online donations using a credit card can be made through Zeffy, an online platform based out of Montreal, Canada, that provides this service at zero cost to non-profits. You will receive a tax receipt for the full amount of your donation, issued by Zeffy on our behalf. Online gifts that are not directed to a specific fund and will be allocated to the general revenue, which will enrich the experience for all students.
If you are able, please consider a monthly gift to Community Christian School. You will be given this option when you donate through Zeffy. Monthly gifts, big or small, help us to meet our annual budget, provide sustainability, and assist us in planning for the future.
DONATE BY CREDIT CARD VIA CHRISTIAN SCHOOL FOUNDATION
Online donations using a credit card can be made through Christian School Foundation. A 3.9% + $0.30/transaction processing fee will be charged to CCS when you use this method. You will receive a tax receipt for the full amount of your donation, issued by the Christian School Foundation. Online gifts that are not directed to a specific fund will be directed to the CCS Bursary Fund, which enriches the experience of all students by allowing more students to attend our school. You are also invited to consider working with the Christian School Foundation to make a planned or legacy gift, which can bless our school for generations to come.
DONATE WITH APPRECIATED SECURITIES OR PROPERTY
There are significant tax advantages if you donate items like securities or property directly to CCS through the Christian School Foundation. For more information and/or to donate through the Christian School Foundation, please click here.
