Annual Cornerstone Fund
Cornerstone Fund
To our MCA school families, THANK YOU for investing in Metrolina Christian Academy! Together, we raised $193,299.84 for our school and students!
Our Cornerstone Fund Goal for the 2018-19 school year is $350,000, and we are already off to a great start. MCA will start investing right away the funds raised during the Kick-Off Event in our students and school in the areas of: Academics, Technology, Athletics, Campus Improvements and Tuition Assistance.
The Cornerstone Fund
As we begin our 26th year of Kingdom education, MCA is "ALL IN" - heart, soul, and mind - for the love of God. We are pursuing the Lord with a passion and fervor that is stronger than ever. Our 2018-19 school theme is "ALL IN" with Matthew 22:37 serving as our inspiration, which states, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind".
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 (ALL IN - 100% Participation). 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 $350,000 with the monies raised to be invested in the following areas (by percentage of amount raised):
| Campus Improvements Expanding and improving our facilities so we can continue to offer exceptional academic, arts, and athletic programs, along with better student life and improved safety. |
40% |
| Academics STEAM initiatives, enhanced curriculum, and more course offerings. |
20% |
| Technology Improves/changes every day, so the Cornerstone Fund ensures our students have needed upgrades in their classrooms. |
15% |
| Sponsor-A-Child Tuition Assistance Helps families who need short-term financial assistance to be a part of the MCA family. |
15% |
| Athletics Provides additional resources for continued growth and the pursuit of excellence for our 34 teams and 385 student-athletes who participate each year. |

Why Give?
To our MCA school families, THANK YOU for investing in Metrolina Christian Academy! Together, we raised $193,299.84 for our school and students!

Why Give?
MCA considers the annual Cornerstone Fund its most critical fundraising effort because it supports all students and programs (Early Education through 12th 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 family, grandparents 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, mobile iPad labs, Lower School and Early Education playground equipment, tuition assistance, professional development, athletic scoreboards, band instruments, campus improvements - such as covered walkways and new flooring for classrooms, and funding for building projects - outdoor athletic complex, Math & Science, Technology & Visual Arts, and the new Performing Arts & Student Center.
MCA is excited and humbled to share we that we raised $526,457.37 during the 2017-18 school year. Praise God for His abundance and for providing so many generous donors who believe in the work we are doing at MCA! Click here to view how these funds were invested in our students and campus.
