Annual Giving

Give the Gift of Learning

As a private, non-profit school, Ascension Lutheran School is reliant upon gifts from families, friends, church members, alumni, and foundations to supplement our programs, offer scholarships, and make up the difference between tuition and the actual cost to educate each student.

We offer annual giving opportunities that build community while meeting the financial needs and growing meaningful programs at our school. Discover the various ways you can support Ascension Lutheran School below.
