The Annual Fund
Each November, as the calendar year is winding down, a "Needs List" is generated from within Heritage - a list of capital needs that cannot be included in the school's general budget. Over the years, this list of items has included:
-
Student lockers
-
Classroom and office furniture
-
Technology upgrades
-
Athletic equipment and uniforms
-
School signage and PR materials
-
Library shelving
-
School website

"Bridging the Gap" Tuition Assistance Fund
Lives are being changed through your generousity. Just ask the Hansens, the Youngs, or Cindy Steege.
It is our vision to make Christ-centered, academically-challenging education accessible to parents who desire it for their children. For many families in the Iowa City, Coralville, and North Liberty communities, there is a substantial gap between what their personal budgets can afford and what tuition costs. We are looking for those who will help us "Bridge the Gap" for those families by donating to this tuition assistance fund. Families to whom funds are awarded go through an intensive application process overseen by FACTS Grant and Aid, the tuition managment company used by Heritage Christian School. For or information, please contact Michael Annis at annism@hcs-nl.com.
Educating for Eternity Banquet
The Educating for Eternity banquet, informally known as EFE, is Heritage Christian School's largest annual fundraiser. This banquet is designed to showcase the excellence within Heritage and introduce new families to what the school has to offer. Keynote speakers have included comedian Ken Davis, author and speaker Lee Strobel, Josh McDowell, and Rick Green from Wall Builders. We are thrilled to announce that the keynote speaker for the 2012 event is Kirk Cameron! Donations given during this event help offset annual operating costs and allow the school's leadership to keep tuition costs as low as possible. The fundraising goal each year for the last several years has been to raise $45,000 and God has faithfully provided. Consider attending this event and help support what God is doing at Heritage. This year's event is scheduled for Saturday, February 25, 2012.
Operation G.O.O.D.
Operation G.O.O.D. (Giving Of Ourselves Day) is an annual serve-a-thon. Students in kindergarten through 8th grade ask family, friends, and neighbors to sponsor them in a two-hour service project conducted on the first Friday in May. For the last several years, Heritage students have worked alongside the Army Corp of Engineers in the State Parks surrounding the Coralville Reservoir. Students have developed an excellent reputation as hard-working, making the most out of the two hours they work. This fundraiser is also designed to support the annual operating budget and, as with other fundraising, God has provided in excess of what we planned. Each year, the goal is to raise approximately $20,000. If you have a Heritage student visit you asking to be sponsored for this event, consider the far reaching impact your sponsor ship has - your support is impacting the lives of over 175 students!
