OUR 2024-25 GOAL IS $100,000 - WE ARE AT 46%


We changed our campaign name from “Annual Appeal” to “Annual Fund” in 2023 so that we can engage with our constituents (you!) all year long: by offering a variety of ways to give back to CCS throughout the year (including volunteering); and keeping our doors open when you have questions, concerns and ideas. 

THE 2025 ANNUAL FUND
  • The 2025 Annual Fund Goal is $100,000.
  • The CCS Giving Day is Tuesday, February 11, 2025.
  • Please consider a 10% increase over your donation last year.
  • Be sure to ask your employer if your workplace offers matching gifts when you donate to a nonprofit organization.
  • We offer ACH (can have your donation withdrawn directly from your bank account) to make donating easy.
  • You can donate by writing a check and mailing it; or donate online with your credit card.
  • You may have heard about our campaign to raise money for a new fieldhouse.  However, donations are still needed now for our every day operational costs.
  • Our average “Cost to Educate” (CTE) per student is approximately $8,000, but our average tuition is approximately $3,500, or 40% of our CTE.  We make up the difference with donations and special events.
RECOGNITION


Donations of more than $100 appear on our online “Honor Roll of Donors.”

Last fall we updated our “Lifetime of Giving” recognition wall.  Donors who have gifted a minimum of $10,000 in their lifetime (to ANY fund) qualify to have their names on our recognition wall.  Now is a good time to take a look at your donations to CCS - in the past year and since your very first donation to CCS - to see if you qualify to go on our wall, or “bump up” from one level to another!  Contact the CCS Development Office with questions at giving@columbusdons.org or 715-387-1177 ext. 3318.
