This guide is designed to help you explore different levels of support for the Trinity Christian School Building Campaign. It shows how a total campaign commitment can be divided into manageable annual or monthly pledge payments over three or five years. It also includes an illustrative estimate of the potential charitable tax credit and estimated after-tax cost of each gift.

Select a total gift amount and compare the annual or monthly commitment under the three-year and five-year options. Our campaign team would be pleased to help you develop a giving schedule that works for you and your family. Learn more about Gift Planning below:
