Tri-unity Christian School Foundation

"Investing Today - Providing for Tomorrow"

The Tri-unity Christian School Foundation is a separate 501(c)3 corporation with its own Board of Directors. We receive, invest, and manage gifts through "endowment funds". All gifts are permanent, held in trust, with only the net investment income used. Providing the opportunity to give a gift that keeps on giving!

Foundation Events
