2026 Fall Fund Drive

Donate to the Fall Fund Drive Here

As we look ahead with gratitude to Thanksgiving, we are reminded of how blessed Racine Christian School has been throughout its nearly 98-year history-and of the many people God has used to sustain our mission.

Today, 204 students fill our classrooms. Families come from many different churches, or no church at all, yet every child experiences an education where God and Christ are woven into everyday life. Our dedicated teachers challenge students academically while encouraging them to grow in faith, character, kindness, and service.

This is a mission worth preserving-and one we invite you to help sustain.

We are grateful for the opportunity the Racine Parental Choice Program provides to qualifying families. We also work hard to keep tuition affordable for families who pay privately. However, neither tuition nor Choice funding covers the full cost of educating our students. The remaining gap is met through investment income, grants, fundraising, and the generosity of people who believe in our mission.

That is the purpose of our Fall Fund Drive. Unlike gifts designated for a specific project, annual Fall Fund Drive contributions will support the everyday work of our school and allow us to direct resources where they are needed most.

Every gift matters, regardless of size. For example, your donation can help provide books and classroom materials, cover the cost of our reading curriculum, or fund tuition assistance so a child can receive a Christian education. Together, we can help ensure that a family's financial circumstances are less likely to determine whether their child can be part of our school community.

Thank you so much for your generous support of our kitchen renovation. Over the last two years, our school family has raised nearly $40,000 toward this exciting project!

Because initial cost projections have come in higher than expected, we want to ensure we are being thoughtful and responsible stewards of your donations. To get precise pricing, the Board's Executive Committee has asked Abacus Architects to finalize the necessary mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering plans. Having these detailed drawings in hand will allow us to collect competitive bids from contractors and clearly define our budget.

Our hope is still to renovate during the summer of 2027. Once the bids are in, we will evaluate our options and share an updated plan and timeline with you.

Whether you have been connected to Racine Christian for generations or have come to know us more recently, you are part of our school family. Your generosity-through the Fall Fund Drive and other special projects-helps ensure that our students receive an excellent education rooted in Christ's love.

Our enrollment is strong, our teachers are committed, and our purpose remains unchanged after nearly a century: to help children grow in knowledge, faith, and an understanding of the gifts God has given them.

Thank you for your continued support, for the difference you have already made, and for considering a gift to this year's Fall Fund Drive. May God continue to bless our students, families, faculty, staff, and all who make this ministry possible.

With Gratitude and Hope,
