In honor of CCS's 40th anniversary, the school created a $5 million dollar endowment for tuition assistance.
With donations from constituencies that reflected the many lives that CCS has touched over 40 years, we completed the initial phase of our campaign in May 2022, raising close to $5.2 million.
The Neal Wrightson Endowment for Financial Aid ensures that generations of students from all socio-economic backgrounds will be given access to a CCS education. It is historic for a school of our size to dedicate a campaign of this nature and scope to financial aid.
We are so grateful to the many friends of CCS past and present who made this achievement possible.
This is not traditional. This is what progress looks like.
If you’d like to know a bit more about our endowment campaign, please watch this video which explains its purpose and scope:
Thank you to these generous supporters!

We still need your help
While our initial phase is complete, we still need to raise $15 million more to ensure that the Neal Wrightson Endowment for Financial Aid lasts into perpetuity.
You can help us reach our goal with a gift in any amount that will help
us keep a CCS education accessible to all children.
Ensure Access. Nurture Democracy. Endow CCS.
