Donate to the Avondale Annual Fund
The Annual Fund is a practical and mission-centered way to strengthen Avondale right now. Like many private Christian schools, tuition and student aid programs do not cover every cost of operating a strong school. Annual Fund gifts help bridge that gap so Avondale can continue serving students and families with excellence.
Why the Annual Fund matters
It helps cover daily operating costs that keep the school running with stability.
It provides tuition assistance so more families can access Christian education.
It supports teachers, classrooms, curriculum, and student programming.
It gives school leadership flexibility to respond to urgent needs and new opportunities.
Every gift strengthens the mission.
Whether your gift is $5, $50, $500, or more, your generosity helps Avondale continue taking Christ to the community through the classroom.
Operating Support
Helps with the everyday costs of running a safe, organized, and mission-focused school, including supplies, technology, insurance, utilities, and school operations.
Tuition Assistance
Supports Avondale’s Worthy Student Scholarship Fund and need-based aid for families who value Christian education but need financial help.
Academic Growth
Strengthens classroom learning, curriculum, intervention support, and enrichment opportunities that help students develop their God-given gifts.
Spiritual Formation
Supports a Christ-centered environment where Bible, worship, prayer, service, and character development are woven into daily school life.
Outreach & Service
Helps students participate in field trips, Education Sabbaths, church outreach, community service, and leadership-building experiences.
Campus Needs
Helps maintain welcoming facilities, transportation needs, and future improvements that support students, families, and the broader community.
GENEROSITY IN ACTION
God has blessed Avondale through faithful supporters.
Every act of generosity becomes part of a larger story. Gifts to Avondale help provide real resources for real students—so our Eagles can grow spiritually, academically, socially, and physically.
“Every one of our Eagles matters. When they walk into this school, they are not only loved—they are prepared to soar.”

Help Build the Future Home of the Eagles
Avondale SDA School is preparing for a bold new chapter — the future development of a gymnasium and Jr. Academy expansion that will provide our students with a safe, engaging, Christ-centered environment where they can grow academically, physically, socially, and spiritually.
This future space will be more than a gym. It will be a place for chapels, assemblies, athletics, performances, community events, student leadership, and whole-child development. It will be a place where the 3 C’s — Christ, Character, and Curriculum — can flourish.
Our students deserve a campus that reflects the greatness God is building in them. They deserve a safe place to play, perform, worship, learn, and belong. They deserve a school environment that says, “You matter. Your future matters. God has a plan for you.”
We invite you to partner with us in building the future of Avondale — the future home of the Eagles.
Your gift today can help make this vision possible.
Every donation, large or small, helps us move one step closer to providing our children with the facilities they need and the opportunities they deserve.
Invest in faith. Invest in children. Invest in Avondale’s future.
