Kick-Off Event Update

Metrolina Christian Academy is overwhelmed and humbled by the generous and faithful giving of so many of our school families and friends during the 4-week Kick-Off Event for the 2021-22 Cornerstone Fund. And we THANK YOU for your spirit of generosity!

THANK YOU for coming together as a community and raising $264,794.23 for our students and school! God has truly taken our best offerings and multiplied them for His Kingdom.

This is the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.  -  Psalm 118:23

MCA will begin investing the funds raised during the Kick-Off Event as soon as possible, so they can start making a tangible difference on our campus in upgraded technology, enhancements to programs, campus improvements and more.

THANK YOU for believing in and supporting the work God is doing through MCA. Your financial gifts to the annual Cornerstone Fund allow MCA to stay strong and grow in its mission to prepare our students to be difference makers for the cause of Christ.

 THANK YOU for standing with MCA to advance the mission of educating our young people for the cause of Christ! It was wonderful to see our school family come together to make a difference for the Kingdom.

About The Kick-Off Event

Each year, MCA begins the annual fundraising efforts of The Cornerstone Fund with its four-week campaign, known as the Kick-Off Event. The Kick-Off Event is an intentional effort to raise as much of our total yearly goal of $450,000 Goal for the Cornerstone Fund as possible. The monies raised during the Kick-Off Event are invested right away in programs and enhancements that directly impact our students.  (To learn more about the Cornerstone Fund and how the monies raised will be invested, please click the Cornerstone Fund tab above.)

Your donation can be a one-time gift, a recurring monthly gift or a pledge amount to be fulfilled by June 30th.  It can also include a matching gift from your employer, payroll deduction through your employer or even a donation to an ‘open’ United Way Campaign sponsored by your employer.

The Cornerstone Fund

The Cornerstone Fund is Metrolina Christian Academy's annual giving initiative.  It is our first priority of giving where everyone associated with our school is asked to make a financial gift during the school year.  This gift is in addition to tuition and fees and any other money you may give MCA throughout the year. 

Through our annual Cornerstone Fund, you have the opportunity to give the gift of Kingdom education...a gift that impacts eternity for generations to come. This year, MCA's Faith Goal is $450,000 with the monies raised to be invested in the following areas (by percentage of amount raised):

MCA considers the annual Cornerstone Fund its most critical fundraising effort because it supports all students and programs (Early Education through 12^th grade) by providing for enhancements and resources that are not otherwise covered by tuition. The Cornerstone Fund also serves to support the school's mission in training and equipping our young people to be champions for Christ, as well as provide a strong foundation for the continued growth of MCA's ministry. 

The funds raised through the Cornerstone Fund not only provide 'extras' to many of the school's programs sooner than would otherwise be available, but also allows MCA to keep tuition at a more affordable level for families.  Your tax-deductible gift is vital in maintaining and improving educational excellence at MCA. Gifts of any size are a blessing and greatly needed as each one makes a difference in educating our students for the cause of Christ.

Through the annual Cornerstone Fund, the generous support of our school families, grandparents, alumni and friends have allowed us to fund many wonderful enhancements and resources beyond the general budget. 

Here's a sampling of major enhancements made possible by the Cornerstone Fund over the last few years:

• new buses for field trips and athletic events
• improved security measures - card-access only doors and security cameras
• STEAM initiatives 
• mobile iPad labs 
• Lower School and Early Education playground equipment
• tuition assistance
• professional development for staff
• new campus server
• athletic scoreboards
• band instruments
• state of the art digital keyboard for performing arts 
• campus improvements - such as covered walkways, new flooring for classrooms and hallways, and new gym floor
• funding for building projects - outdoor athletic complex, Math & Science, Technology & Visual Arts, and the new Performing Arts & Student Center
