Donations

The Development Department encourages you to help the Rockford Lutheran Schools and the Rockford Lutheran Schools Foundation maintain a solid financial future by making a donation to ensure that current and future students are able to receive a quality affordable Christian education.

Where do your donations go?

The Rockford Lutheran Schools: Rockford Lutheran Academy, Rockford Lutheran Junior High School and Rockford Lutheran Senior High School welcome your donations to meet current and long term needs of the schools.

Current needs include: student financial aid assistance, computer and technology updates, classroom updates and enhancements, and special program assistance. Each year there are families who have made the commitment to give their children a Christian education, but unforeseen circumstances such as a job loss or illness can hinder their ability to continue their child's education. Each year a limited amount of funds are made available to provide families with tuition assistance. Donations to the Rockford Lutheran Schools can be designated by the donor to a specific school or program, or applied to general operating fund.

Longer term needs include Planned Giving to the Rockford Lutheran Schools Foundation. The Foundation provides money directly to the schools on an annual basis, in the form of restricted and unrestricted funds. Depending on the request of the benefactor these funds can be used to provide tuition assistance, music department, science department, athletic department, teacher enhancement programs, or scholarship programs. As a benefactor you can specify exactly how you want the endowment applied. The goal of the Foundation is be a steward and servant of the charitable resources. Through the Foundation your gifts will continue to give for generations.

How can you give?

Donations in many forms can be accepted, anything from a check to appreciated stock, bequests in a will, matching funds from an employer or insurance proceeds can be donated to the School or Foundation. If you have questions or need more information, please contact:
