About ADA CHRISTIAN SCHOOL EDUCATION FOUNDATION

The Ada Christian School Education Foundation (ACSEF) is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) supporting organization established in 1989 to secure long-term financial stability for Ada Christian School in Ada, Michigan. The Foundation manages an endowment and makes an annual gift that reduces tuition costs for all families and provides need-based financial aid. ACSEF funds program enhancements, facility projects, and scholarships through fundraising events (including an annual dinner) and planned gifts. In recent years the Foundation has been a central funder of the school's "Faith Forward" advancement campaign and continues to grow its endowment to provide predictable support for the school's operating budget.
