What they do

EASTSIDE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL FOUNDATION WAS FORMED AS A RESPONSE to THE NEED for ADDITIONAL LONG-TERM FINANCIAL SUPPORT for THE SCHOOL. WITH THE RISING COST of EDUCATION WE BELIEVE IT is IMPORTANT to ENSURE THAT THE EDUCATION PROVIDED AT EASTSIDE is AVAILABLE and AFFORDABLE for GENERATIONS to COME. THE OBJECTIVE of THE FOUNDATION is to ACCUMULATE ENDOWMENT FUNDS WHICH ARE INVESTED for LONG-TERM GROWTH. THE EARNINGS of THE FUND ARE USED to ENHANCE THE EDUCATION PROVIDED AT EASTSIDE AS WELL AS to REDUCE THE COST of TUITION for OUR FAMILIES.

Here is the honest answer: A tax form shows money and paperwork. It cannot prove that people, animals, or the community were truly helped.

$8.70of every $100 spent went to management and office costsThis number alone does not tell us how much good they did.

$8.28in assets for every $1 spent this yearSome assets cannot be spent right away.

6.4%of its money came from giftsOther money may come from services or investments.

Ask these three easy questions

Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.

Bottom line: Good paperwork is a good sign—not proof. The best answer comes when the charity can show what it changed, who it helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
