Live Oak’s Giving Philosophy
As an independent school, Live Oak relies solely upon tuition fees, proceeds from fundraising events and initiatives, and charitable donations to meet the operating expenses of the school. Much of what God has accomplished at Live Oak has been financed through gifts large and small. We are honored by your heartfelt gifts no matter the size, knowing that God blesses the sacrificial and faithful giver (Luke 21:1-4). We trust that God will meet our needs in accordance with your faithful giving, and we pledge to steward those gifts toward enduring value for the future of our students, our school, and God’s kingdom. We also pledge to share with you the ways that God is blessing your gifts. We look forward to sharing with you! To be added to our mailing list, please contact: LOCSadvancement@liveoakclassical.com.
Gift Purposes
General and Year End Giving
Live Oak benefits greatly from your periodic and year end giving. Unless otherwise specified, your gifts will be applied at the discretion of the school in support of various programs and initiatives.
Acorn Society
Gifts made to the Acorn Society directly support fine arts, athletics, teacher appreciation, and other events and programs that foster school community. Funds raised through the Acorn Society empower the vital efforts of parent organizations including Parent Council, Booster Club, and Friends of Fine Arts.
Tuition Assistance
Approximately 25% of Live Oak families rely on tuition assistance to enroll their children. Your giving directly supports families who would otherwise be unable to afford a Live Oak education.
Campus Security
Your giving helps provide a uniformed officer during school hours and special events to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our students and staff.
GRACE Fund
The GRACE Fund gives families the opportunity to directly bless our faculty and staff who tirelessly devote themselves to our students. Gifts made to the GRACE Fund are distributed at Christmas time, making a significant and timely impact on our faculty/staff community. Our 2024 campaign has ended, but if you would like to make a gift toward the 2025 GRACE Fund, click the green heading above.
