"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us…"
Ephesians 3:20(a) NIV
Support Eastbrook Academy
Thank you for supporting Eastbrook Academy so generously and faithfully. Whether your support is prayerful, financial, or through volunteer efforts, the Academy is grateful for your part in contributing to its growth and success!
Eastbrook Academy students continue to excel. Excellence abounds in our classrooms, in our athletic programs, band, orchestra, drama, and art. Those visiting our school continually compliment our young people as they watch them engaging in a willingness to learn and doing their best in all they undertake.
This excellence is the result of much hard work on the part of our students and certainly Eastbrook Academy's faculty and staff. It is also the result of those that support the Academy through their financial gifts, prayer and time spent volunteering.
ANNUAL FUND
Upcoming Events
Tuition revenue pays for only one-half of the cost of daily operations and does not cover capital improvements. Your ongoing interest and input is vital. Please give to our Annual Fund.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the Annual Fund?
A: The Annual Fund represents the amount needed in our annual budget through individual contributions.
Q: Why do we need to solicit individual contributions? Doesn't tuition cover my child's education costs?
A: Eastbrook Academy discounts its tuition rate and is committed to keeping tuition affordable for all families. In fact, the tuition rate is set substantially lower than the true cost of educating. Therefore, we are dependent on individual contributions to meet operating expenses.
Q: Shouldn't we be looking for financial support outside of Academy parents and Eastbrook Church?
A: Yes, and we do submit proposals to corporate and private foundations asking for financial support. However, financial giving at any level from parents, grandparents and friends encourage corporate donors and foundation support.
