Corning Christian Academy relies heavily on the support and generosity of our greater community. We are a stand-alone school and therefore have no other source of income other than tuition and fundraisers.
Support CCA
Mrs. Erin Hughson
Director of Development
Welcome from the Director of Development!
Corning Christian Academy has played an integral role in my life from a very young age. I was a student at CCA from 1988-1999 and I am so thankful God directed my path back to the school in a professional capacity, as well as for my children’s education. Their teachers are not only concerned with their academic performance but also their eternal future. They are not only affecting their learning but also their character. We are blessed to be a part of this fellowship of believers.
​
In an effort to keep tuition costs affordable for more families, Corning Christian Academy relies heavily on the support and generosity of our greater community. We are a stand-alone school and therefore have no other source of income other than tuition and fundraisers. Throughout the year, we host a variety of fundraisers and events that all contribute to our day to day operations as a school. Your participation is vital to our success.
​
If you are interested in partnering with us and investing in the future of CCA and in the future of our students, please contact me, or follow the link below, to set your monthly or one-time gift. Your giving allows us to reach further and affect more lives for the glory of God.

Ways to Give
Here are some of the easiest ways for you to invest in CCA:
Donations
Donations of any amount may be mailed or brought to the school. You may also go online to donate and set your monthly or one-time gift.
Give Appreciated Stock or other property/real estate
When you give stock or property to CCA, we’ll sell it and you won’t have to pay all the capital gains tax you would have paid had you sold it yourself. Your gift will be deductible at its full fair market value on its date of delivery if you have held it for more than one year.
Invest in a life income plan, or another of the charitable estate planning strategies that are available.
A life income gift provides you with payments for the rest of your life and CCA with support thereafter. If you use appreciated securities that you’ve owned longer than a year to fund the gift, you will be entitled to an income tax deduction based, in part, on the charitable portion of the securities’ full value, in addition to eliminating up-front capital gains tax.
Amazon Smile
​​​Amazon Smile is a simple way for you to support our school every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same low prices, vast selection and convenient shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate 5% of the purchase price to your chosen charitable organization. To shop at Amazon Smile simply go to smile.amazon.com. You use the same account on Amazon.com and Amazon Smile. Your shopping cart, Wish List, and other account settings are also the same. On your first visit to Amazon Smile (smile.amazon.com), you need to select a charitable organization (Christian Learning Center-Corning, NY) to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping. The site will remember your selection, and then every eligible purchase you make at smile.amazon.com will result in a donation.
Other Ways to Give
We collect and submit Box Tops for Education as well as used ink cartridges, which we return to Staples for rebates.
A gift of a life insurance policy you no longer need makes a perfect year-end gift. To qualify as a deductible gift, CCA must become the policy owner. For most types of insurance policies, your tax deduction is usually the cost basis or the fair market value of the policy—whichever is less.
