TCA also now has the online capability to handle ACH transactions. So if you would like to give through your bank’s checking account, you can do so through TCA’s secure giving portal.
Credit Card
You can make donations to The Christian Academy using the following credit cards:
- American Express

Securities
For many donors, gifts of stock offer the opportunity to save on taxes and invest in TCA at the same time. Outright gifts of appreciated securities held more than one year are not subject to capital gains tax on the increase in the value of the stock. Secondly, donors receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift.
Corporate Matching
Many companies with matching gift programs contribute to independent educational institutions like TCA. Most offer a “one-to-one” match, but some will double-match an employee’s contribution, and others even triple. Annual Giving totals of corporate matching boost TCA’s Annual Fund thousand’s of dollars every year. To secure a matching gift, donors should procure a matching gift form from their company (usually the personnel office), complete the employees’ section and mail the form to TCA, along with their Annual Giving gift. The Development Office will certify receipt of the gift and return the form to the company.
