Why Give?
At GSLS, providing an excellent education and helping students to know Christ and then go make Him known are our top priorities. To do this effectively, we need outside partners to come alongside us by donating time and financial gifts.
Our Goal for 2021-2022 Is $175,000
The Annual Charger Challenge Campaign is our largest fundraising effort, and your gift allows us to minister to students by:
- Replacing the phone system $45,000
- Tuition assistance for families in need
- Faculty and staff development
- General operating expenses
- Facility maintenance
- Technology upgrades
- Sports programs
- Music program
We are SO very grateful for any amount that you can give at this time or throughout the school year. Covid has effected many families and increased costs at our school. It takes all of us: parents, grandparents, alumni, staff, business and community members working together to make this school thrive.
Together we can make a difference!!

Greetings From Development Director
Thank you for your interest in supporting GSLS through prayer, volunteering, or financial support!! The purpose of Good Shepherd Lutheran School is to provide each student with a quality Christian education. We recognize that this begins with the premise that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and in Him we have eternal life. The curriculum and all activities are developed around this premise.
Through the generosity of donors, like you, we are able to provide tuition assistance for students with financial need, equip our teachers and our classrooms with the curriculum, technology, and other resources necessary to achieve an environment where our students can excel academically, grow on their faith,and mature in leadership skills.

Double Your Donation
Gifts of stock, bonds, mutual funds, and other securities may be given to GSLS through our LCMS Foundation DTC securities transfer process. In addition to providing a significant gift, donating long-term appreciated securities enables you to avoid potential capital gains taxes and receive a charitable income tax deduction.

At GSLS, we have started an Endowment Fund. Our goal is to build it up to 2 million dollars so we can then be able to annually withdraw money for scholarships for students in need. This is a wonderful way to provide education for students in our community.

If you are 70 1/2 years old or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to give to GSLS and receive tax benefits in return. You can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA directly to GSLS and pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions. If you have not yet taken your required minimum distribution for the year, your IRA charitable gift can satisfy all or part of that requirement.
