CVCS Excellence Fund
The CVCS Excellence Fund
Our goal at Cole Valley Christian Schools is to shepherd and challenge students to their individual potential with exceptional educational experiences that are Christ-centered and biblically infused.
But we can’t do it alone!
Every Gift Matters, No Matter the Size
STAFF BOARD ALUMNI FAMILIES COMMUNITY
That’s where YOU come in! The CVCS experience is possible because of generous gifts from our alumni, friends, and members of the community. With your help, we can continue our tradition of equipping students with the knowledge and abilities to be leaders and to impact the world for Christ.
We aim for all of our constituents to partner with our mission through the Excellence Fund. As a high percent of our current STAFF, BOARD, all GRADUATES, and FAMILIES invest in our Excellence Fund, it shows our collective commitment to the mission of CVCS to the world and attracts others to give along with us.
Show your belief in our MISSION to the world.
Invest in the legacy of CVCS.

We desire to help all students reach their individual potential to impact the world for Christ. Our academic programs are excellent at meeting students where they are and helping them overcome any learning challenges or strive as their minds are capable to become prepared for their future after CVCS. Your funds help support additional tools teachers request to help our students achieve their potential as they get to know students and brainstorm on their behalf.

As technology improves, we desire to provide the best tools for learning we can. Your donation to the Excellence Fund helps us regularly consider technological improvements to support our teachers and students. We also want to provide our STEAM programs with the tools to support the hands-on learning and innovation our teachers are so good at including in their lesson plans.

Our coaches have an incredible impact on our students as they train discipline, sportsmanship, character, teamwork, and tenacity into their athletes. The costs associated with these important life lessons is well above what sports fees alone can cover. Your gift to the Excellece Fund helps us equip the coaches with the tools they need to run their important programs, including the facility upgrades to enhance their programs.

Our band, choir, theater and visual arts departments build meaningful relationships with students as they hone their craft in the arts. The instruments, stagecraft, costuming/uniforms, and sound equipment necessary to best support these endeavors require funds. Your gift to the Excellence Fund allows us to meet those needs as our creative instructors dream up the next impressive concert, musical, or play to stretch the talents of our students to their potential, including facility upgrades to enhance their programs.

Monthly giving is one of the best gifts you can give the MISSION of CVCS.

Missional Giving through a commensurate ongoing gift to CVCS is part of building the kingdom as we educate and prepare leaders who prioritize biblical truth and values.
The Charger Fund is the our way of giving because we believe in the mission of CVCS. We trust those responsibile to use the funds in the BEST way as needed to further the mission of the school.
Gifts to the Cole Valley Excellence Fund provide support for operations, programs, and advancements that strengthen and support our mission.
As opportunities arise, your gifts allow us to say “YES” to requests that grow excellence in all our programs. Allows your unrestricted gift to be directed to our greatest area of need as opportunities arise. It helps us provide the icing on the cake that enhances our mission above and beyond the operational needs of the school.
As the percentage of our constituents who participate in the Charger Fund increases, it indicates to philanthropists considering us for an investment, that those involved believe in our mission and want to see it continue long-term.
Our belief in CVCS peaks other's curiosity and fuels their desire to partner financially with us to create impact in students' lives.
Our CVCS Excellence Fund kicks off each year with a pledge drive in the month of February.
School families and grandparents will be invited to partner with us in the month of February.
Giving your CVCS Excellence Fund donation prior to the summer months allows our facilities team to make the best improvements and enhancements over the summer months while students are not on campus.
Staff and Alumni will be invited to partner with us before the end of the school year. Collective class donations will be shared at Graduation.
All Legacy Guild Memberships should be completed prior to November 1st to be invited to the VIP Dinner Reception.
Ultimately, we would ask everyone who values CVCS to give something each year at some time during the calendar year. A gift of any amount given between January 1 and December 31 will count towards our participation goals. A high participation rate raises our school in the eyes of outside donors searching places of incredible impact with which to partner.
