Endowment Fund

The CAK Endowment

Sustains the mission forever - fewer give, but the impact is lasting.

Endowment gifts are typically larger and less frequent, though gifts of any size are welcome. These gifts help ensure the school's long-term strength by providing ongoing support year after year.

Many donors make endowment gifts as part of a legacy or long-term stewardship plan.

Why it matters: Endowment giving ensures our mission endures, providing lasting support for future students and families.

Matthew 13:31-32

He put another parable before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches. 

Supporting the Mission: The CAK Endowment

Christian Academy of Knoxville's endowment is a perpetual source of support for the school and its mission of raising servants, scholars, and disciples. Once fully funded, the endowment can be one of the largest sources of revenue supporting CAK’s operating budget. Endowment funds support nearly every aspect of CAK’s operation.

Endowment Priorities

List of 3 items.

  • Education

    An investment in CAK's Endowment Fund helps sustain excellence in the classroom for generations to come. By strengthening academic programs, supporting exceptional faculty, and providing innovative learning opportunities, the endowment ensures that future students receive a Christ-centered education marked by excellence.
  • Experiences

    The CAK experience extends far beyond the classroom. Endowment support helps enrich the opportunities that shape our students, from spiritual retreats and service projects to athletics, the arts, leadership, and hands-on learning experiences, creating an environment where students can grow academically, spiritually, and personally.
  • Facilities

    Annually sustain and improve CAK buildings and grounds by funding major and minor campus improvements and repairs beyond what the school’s general operations can provide. This mission will free up more CAK operation funds for learning, spiritual, and extracurricular programs that further the school’s total mission.
