Thank You to Our Partners
Support SCS
Donate today to support the students, faculty, programs and future dreams at Sarasota Christian School.
SCS Blazer Fund
The SCS Blazer Fund, our Annual Giving Program, plays an invaluable role in providing enrichment opportunities for our students and faculty that tuition alone cannot cover. Whether meeting a guest speaker in chapel, working in our state-of-the-art media center, participating in a hands-on field trip, or learning material from dedicated and caring faculty, the SCS Blazer Fund helps our children reach their full potential as students, artists, musicians, leaders and athletes. Your support of the SCS Blazer Fund makes it all possible and impacts every corner of campus.
We are proud of Sarasota Christian School’s culture of philanthropy and strong community support! Please join our Board of Directors and faculty and staff by making a gift to the SCS Blazer Fund today.

Capital Fund
Like most Christian schools, the majority of our revenue comes from tuition and annual fund giving. Yet, these funds alone cannot provide for many of the long-term resources essential to advancing the school. The Capital Fund supports projects that fall outside of the annual operating budget such as new construction or major renovations. The school has been blessed over the years with generous donors who have made the addition of each facility possible. Although buildings are only part of what makes a school outstanding, they are critical to a
dynamic learning environment.
Legacy Gifts
Those who remember Sarasota Christian School in their wills, bequests and other estate gifts such as life insurance, annuities, remainder trusts, etc., become members of the 1958 Society and are vital to preserving the future of Sarasota Christian School.
The 1958 Society members have indicated in writing that they have made provisions for Sarasota Christian School in their estate plans. In addition to being a meaningful gift, “planned giving” helps to reduce or eliminate taxes on capital gains and federal estate taxes. Please check with your financial planner or accountant for more details on arranging for a planned gift, and the personal benefits associated with that charitable gift.
If you have made arrangements for a gift to SCS in your estate planning and wish to be listed as a member of the 1958 Society, please contact SCS CFO, Justin Scholl at jscholl@SarasotaChristian.org or email development@sarasotachristian.org.
