Where Does the Money Go?
The donations raised by the CCA Foundation fund arts, engineering, technology, the sciences and humanities, college and career counseling, and athletic programs. Every student at CCA benefits in some way from the generous donations made by CCA families to the Foundation.
A few examples of what Foundation donations have paid for include:
- books and materials for the Learning Commons
- classroom computers and software
- the world language lab
- coaching stipends and assistant coaching fees
- sports uniforms and equipment
- guest teaching artists for Envision day classes and Conservatory
- construction and facilities upgrades for the Proscenium and Black Box theaters, gym, weight room, and NEST
- pool rental, sheet music, costumes
- lab equipment and supplies, and much, much more.
In short, the Foundation raises the money that helps make the difference between an ordinary high school experience and the exceptional educational opportunities available to all Canyon Crest Academy students.
Key Points on CCA Foundation’s Updated Designated Giving:
Donors can choose to designate their donation to a specific team/discipline or donate to the unrestricted Raven’s Fund.
Beginning July 1, 2025, 80% of each designated donation will go to the team/discipline selected, 20% will go to the general fund of that discipline.
Example: for a $100 donation to Volleyball, $80 will go to the team, $20 to the Athletics Program for improvements that benefit all athletes.
The Raven’s Fund will continue to fund school ‘big ideas’ and other priorities that benefit all students at CCA.
