Support the Future of CCS in the Present
At Children’s Community School, we cherish the profound impact that dedicated individuals make on our community. Your commitment to our mission, values and students can continue well into the future through planned giving.
How Can You Get Involved
Discover how you can make a meaningful impact through planned giving. Our team is here to assist you through the process of supporting our students' education and success in our urban community. Your contribution matters greatly.
Secure the future of education with a lasting gift. Consider including Children’s Community School in your will or designating us as the beneficiary of specific assets – ensuring our legacy endures and empowering us to enrich the lives of future generations.
By making a gift through your estate or specific assets, you can support our students while making sure your loved ones remain well-supported. It's a powerful way to leave a lasting legacy without compromising your family's financial security.
Make a Gift
Opting for regular monthly donations may not significantly affect your wallet, but it can make a significant difference for our school! By selecting the recurring donation option and securely charging it to your credit card, you can contribute consistently.
Consider the impact your monthly contribution can have:
- $100 a month supports current technology in the classroom
- $75 a month can help pay for transportation costs for field trips
- $50 a month can pay the tuition for a struggling family
- $10 a month can buy classroom supplies for one student
The budgeted costs to educate and help expand the personal development of each child at CCS in 2024 is approximately $12,000 (parents pay no more than $500 per year depending on circumstance). It is the generosity, support and confidence of our dedicated donors who make up this difference between a parent’s investment in their child’s future and the balance that is spent per child by the school to fulfill our Mission.
CCS, supported by United Way with code 4978, welcomes designated gifts from any United Way branch nationwide. Your contribution can directly support our mission, no matter where you're located within the United Way network. Join us in creating a better future for our future leaders.
CCS has been a beacon of education in Waterbury for over half a century, originating with tutoring and preschool initiatives. The Anniversary Tree honors the supporters who will play a pivotal role in our next 55 years, now with the successful expansion to our middle school. Together, let's continue to cultivate a legacy of learning.
