The BVCS Legacy Fund - BVCS's Endowment Fund

At Big Valley Christian School, our mission is to nurture and equip students to impact the world for Christ—now and for generations to come. The BVCS Legacy Fund, our official Endowment Fund, ensures we can do exactly that. “One generation commends Your works to another; they tell of Your mighty acts.” —Psalm 145:4

What Is the Legacy Fund?

The BVCS Legacy Fund is a permanently invested endowment designed to provide long-term financial stability for our school—independent of tuition income. In any given year, Christian schools can face unpredictable variables:

• Economic shifts

• Regulatory changes

• Enrollment fluctuations

A strong endowment serves as a steady, reliable source of income, ensuring BVCS remains firmly positioned for excellence—no matter the season. Our current goal is to raise $1.5 million to fund the Legacy Fund and begin actualizing the financial benefit of a healthy endowment fund. 

“The Legacy Fund is essential to BVCS’s future. It strengthens our long-term stability, expands our mission impact, and positions our school for decades of Christ-centered excellence.” —Michelle Mott, Assistant Superintendent

What Does the Legacy Fund Support?

The Legacy Fund focuses on three mission-critical priorities:

1. Scholarships & Tuition Assistance

BVCS has always desired to remain accessible to families who share our mission but lack the financial means. “Our family could not have attended BVCS without financial support. This school changed our child’s life.”
—BVCS Parent

2. Competitive & Equitable Staff Compensation

The heart of BVCS is its people—teachers, coaches, and staff who serve with passion and purpose. “I love teaching at BVCS. I choose to be here because I’m called to this mission, this community, and these students.”
—BVCS Teacher

3. Other Strategic Educational Purposes

The BVCS Board may allocate earnings toward mission-aligned projects that enhance the student experience—including curriculum, programming, or campus development. “This fund ensures BVCS can respond wisely to strategic needs while protecting the long-term financial health of the school—BVCS Board Chair

How Is the Legacy Fund Managed?

The Legacy Fund is overseen by the BVCS Board and a dedicated Endowment Committee—a team of experienced financial professionals and school leaders committed to:

• Prudent investment

• Long-term growth

• Transparent reporting

• Faithful stewardship
  
  

The committee maintains a diversified investment strategy designed to maximize long-term returns while avoiding unnecessary risk. “The Legacy Fund will strengthen BVCS for generations. We are committed to managing these gifts with excellence, integrity, and long-range vision.” —BVCS Endowment Committee Chair

Why Does an Endowment Matter?

A healthy endowment is a hallmark of excellent Christian schools nationwide. It allows BVCS to:

• Maintain affordable tuition

• Expand financial aid

• Recruit and retain high-quality teachers

• Enrich academic and co-curricular programs

• Provide dependable operating support

• Ensure long-term fiscal sustainability
  
  

Simply put, the Legacy Fund helps secure the future of Christ-centered education at BVCS.
