School Needs

For over 30 years, Northside Christian School has committed itself to preparing tomorrow's leaders through a comprehensive education of academics, athletics, and fine arts, woven together with faith.   Tuition at Northside Christian School does not cover all of the expenditures of the ministry.

We must rely on the charitable gifts of our parents, grandparents, alumni and friends to help cover the "gap" between what tuition & fees cover and the actual expense of operating NCS. There are many ways you can partner with Northside Christian School to continue its commitment to excellence.

Annual Fund:  An investment in the Northside Christian School annual fund is an investment in the academic, spiritual and experiential enrichment of today's youth and tomorrow's leaders.  Tax-deductible contributions to our annual fund help bridge the gap between tuition revenue and the actual cost of school operations.

Charitable Contributions:

One of the best ways to make a charitable contribution to Northside Christian is to give appreciated securities. In most cases, you may avoid paying capital gains taxes on the stocks appreciation and enjoy the benefit of a charitable income tax deduction.  When making any gift of stock or securities, please contact the Director of Development at (727) 381-3642, ext. 238.  By informing the school in advance, we can ensure that your gift will be credited appropriately.

Northside Educational Foundation

With the latest gift of $50,000 the Northside Educational Foundation (NEF) is having a strong first year. The NEF was established to allow large gift donors the peace of mind that funds will be directed according to their desires. The recent donation is being used to fund a scholarship endowment per the donor’s request and specifications. Please remember the NEF as you plan your charitable giving for 2008.
