Campaign ends Wednesday, December 31st, 2025, 11:58 pm EST
What is the IMPACT Fund?
The IMPACT ELCA Fund is a vital source of unrestricted income that supports key programs and initiatives across our campus. Every gift to IMPACT directly benefits our students, faculty, and staff by meeting immediate needs and advancing the mission of ELCA. From academics to the arts, athletics to innovation, IMPACT strengthens every aspect of the ELCA experience.
IMPACT helps to set us apart from other independent schools—and empowers our students to IMPACT the world!
What does IMPACT do?
IMPACT helps move ELCA from a great school to a World-Class school — your support is what makes ELCA exceptional. Your generosity helps provide:
Excellent academics
Low student-to-teacher ratios
Focused support for non-traditional learners
Top-tier Fine Arts and Athletics
High-quality professional development for faculty & staff
Innovative STEAM and AI programming
IMPACT also allows you to give to Families Helping Families which supports families who desire for their students to have an excellent, gospel-centered educational experience, but also need some financial support.
IMPACT helps preserve and promote our unapologetically Christian foundation. It supports ELCA’s day-to-day operations as well as long-term goals, enriching every student’s journey.
Does IMPACT fund construction or building projects?
No. The IMPACT Fund does not support new construction or renovation projects such as buildings, athletic fields, or playgrounds.
Isn’t tuition enough to cover school expenses?
Tuition covers a large portion of the ELCA experience—but not all of it. IMPACT bridges the shortfall between tuition and the full cost of providing an exceptional, Christ-centered education. Your support ensures that every student has access to the resources and opportunities that make ELCA unique.
Can I choose where my gift goes?
While we recognize that you might have a passion for certain specific areas of ELCA, the giving of unrestricted gifts allows us to meet the most urgent needs. In addition, at ELCA we desire to see all students meet Jesus, love Jesus, and follow Jesus, and IMPACT ensures this intentional effort as we help families who may need financial support with tuition. You can direct your gift to one of the following priority areas:
Excellence! (Where ELCA needs it most)
Families Helping Families (Tuition support for families in need)
If I can only give a small amount, does it really make a difference?
Yes—it absolutely does! Every gift, no matter the size, makes an IMPACT. Your participation demonstrates your commitment to our mission, and also helps strengthen ELCA’s case when seeking grants and corporate support. When we all give, the IMPACT is powerful!
