Proud Supporter of Rochester Christian School
RCSF 2025 Annual Campaign
A new school year has just started and RCS continues to thrive. For the past several years, enrollment has been at a consistent range, with over 160 students attending this school year. The first day brought a lot of excitement as a cheer squad welcomed students into the building. A glimpse of the unique and special experiences to come at RCS this year.
From its inception over 100 years ago, neighbors helping neighbors has been the cornerstone of how RCS has operated. It was important to the founders of the school that anyone who wanted their kids to be part of RCS could enroll. Everyone pitched in and eventually fundraisers took place to ensure families could send their children for a high quality yet affordable Christian education. Over time, this approach fell short of making ends meet. It was at this point the Foundation was born. Now, 32 years later, the Foundation has become a vital part of the school’s financial resources.
Thanks to the generosity of our caring community, the Foundation’s contribution to RCS has grown to represent a significant portion of the school’s annual budget. In the 2025-26 school year, the Foundation will contribute a total $52,600 to RCS. Of those funds, $22,500 come from scholarship funds and will go directly toward tuition for several families who are facing unusual circumstances and would otherwise be unable to have their children attend RCS this school year. A powerful example of how every donation makes a real difference to RCS and its families.
In its mission to provide increasing support to the school, the Foundation raises funds through an Annual Campaign. Our goal is to raise $50,000 between now and December 31, 2025. We need your help to achieve this goal. Our hope is that you will generously contribute to the RCS Foundation’s 2025 Annual Campaign. Your gift will help ensure that Christian education remains available to present and future generations.
Please make your contribution today.
