Holland Christian Schools

Since 1901, Holland Christian has served parents by providing a quality, Christ-centered education. Through this education, more than 12,000 Holland Christian graduates have been equipped to assume positions of leadership in their homes, churches, communities, and around the world. The Holland Christian Education Foundation was formed in 1989 to provide financial stability for the school. In the face of escalating tuition costs, the Foundation's mission is to keep Christian education affordable.

To achieve that goal, the Foundation must grow; and to grow, it needs your gift. Your contribution to the Foundation will continue to give for generations to come. The earnings of the fund are gifted to the school annually. A larger Foundation principal means a larger grant to Holland Christian.

Affordability is crucial to the survival of Christian education in the Holland area. The Foundation offers several ways for you to make it a reality. We welcome a variety of gifts including:

Outright Gifts
Gifts of cash or appreciated assets (such as securities) are always welcomed by the Foundation.

Life Income Gifts
Charitable Gift Annuities and Charitable Remainder Trusts can be funded with a gift of cash or an appreciated asset such as stock, and the donor can also have the security of a guaranteed income for life.

Gifts of Life Insurance
Making the Holland Christian Foundation both the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy can leave a lasting legacy that will be of benefit for years to come.

Making a Bequest
You can leave a legacy for future generations by naming Holland Christian Schools or the Foundation as a beneficiary in your will or estate plan. Friends of Holland Christian who have informed us that Holland Christian is included in their estate plan are recognized as members of the Holland Christian Heritage Society. If Holland Christian is included in your estate plan, we would be very grateful if you would share that information with us so that we might include you in future Heritage Society events.
