GIVING
At Glenmore Christian Academy, our students have the opportunity to grow academically, artistically, athletically and spiritually in a supportive community comprised of teachers, peers, parents and Christian values. We have been nurturing future leaders and Christ followers since our inception.
As an independent school, we rely on tuition and a partial educational grant from the Government of Alberta to pay for operating expenses. These funds cover our annual costs, including salaries, materials and supplies needed daily to support our students.
We rely on generous donors for our capital projects, to help expand our facility, pay down our debt and continually improve our students' experience. Donations also help fund our YWAM missions trip and Bursary Educational Assistance Fund.
As a registered charity, GCA is able to provide Charitable Tax Receipts for general donations to any of these funds.
There are multiple funds you can donate to today. See below for options.
General Fund
Funds donated to GCA's General fund will be used to help us further our mission to Teach Truth, Inspire Excellence, Experience Christ and Serve through Love.
Capital Fund
GCA seeks to provide a warm, loving and safe space for its students. We provide technology that helps our students learn effectively. Support received for the Capital Fund will be used to continually improve our school's facilities and IT systems.
Bursary Assistance
The GCA Bursary Education Fund helps subsidize tuition costs for GCA families that are meeting short term financial difficulties. Your support of the fund will help lessen the financial burden on these families, and help ensure their children can continue to receive the education they've become accustomed to receiving.

YWAM Mission Trip
The Grade 9 Mexico trip is a unique opportunity for our students to experience Christ and serve through love in a cross-cultural context. This trip comes at an extra cost per student for grade nine families to cover the travel costs, along with the cost of materials/supplies for the new homes. Amounts donated to the Family Assistance fund will be used to subsidize the trip costs for families encountering short term financial difficulties. Amounts donated to the Homes fund will be used to purchase materials/supplies for the homes. Amounts donated to 'YWAM Mission - General' will be used to reduce the cost of the trip for all families attending the trip.
Christian High School
GCA is actively pursuing the goal of opening an Independent Christian High School. All funds donated to the High School Capital Fund will be designated to the capital cost of purchasing land and constructing a new High School building. Together, we can build a brighter future for our community and uphold our values of teaching truth, inspiring excellence, experiencing Christ and serving through love.
Donations
Each restricted donation designated toward an approved program or project above will be used as designated with the understanding that when the need for such a program or project has been met, or cannot be completed for any reason as determined by the Board of Directors, the remaining restricted donations designated for such program or project will be used as the Board of Directors determines.
