Giving to CAK

Thanks to the generous support of parents, alumni, faculty, staff, grandparents, trustees and friends, Christian Academy of Knoxville continues to build on the dream of Christian families who founded CAK over 40 years ago.

Peter 4:10

As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace
The philanthropy of our donors allows CAK to broaden our academic offerings, provide enriching opportunities, and grow the next generation, our legacy, to spread the gospel and love of Jesus Christ into the world. As an independent school, CAK is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) tax-deductible organization. We do not receive federal, state, or local financial support from taxpayers nor do we have a parent church to provide funding to our school. We do, however, receive donations that provide funding for need-based tuition assistance and to make capital improvements when needed. Before you give online, please review our privacy policy HERE. No gift is too small or too large! There are several ways you can give.

  • Company Matching Gifts

    Many companies will match the contributions which employees (sometimes even retired employees) make to IRS-recognized philanthropic and educational groups. You can double - sometimes triple - your gift through a matching gift program. Simply enclose the company's matching gift form, which you can obtain from your Human Resources department, along with your check and mail to Christian Academy of Knoxville:

Types of Funds

  • Annual Fund Annual Fund
    A gift to CAK's Annual Fund will be used as a near-term contribution to bless our students and staff. The Annual Fund is the foundation of the school’s giving program, and is generally something most donors give to annually. In addition to helping us balance our operating budget, investments in our annual giving fund help CAK provide critical support for programs and services benefiting our students, families and faculty.
  • Endowment Fund Endowment Fund
    The Endowment Fund is a long-term investment in the future of the school and is generally something most donors give to occasionally. The principal amount of this fund remains intact, thereby perpetually assuring the use of the interest earned. Our goal is to grow the principal so that the interest earned can be used annually to provide tuition assistance and other financial blessings to the students of CAK.
