Restoration Academy's 2018 Annual Report

Each year, at Restoration Academy, we publish a report documenting the way the Lord has worked through our school in the past year. This year is our 30th year of ministry, and we are blessed and fortunate to continue to grow in a time when many comparable urban Christian schools are closing their doors.

WAYS YOU CAN HELP<br />

SUPPORT THE MISSION<br />

For the <strong>2018</strong> –19 school year, <strong>Restoration</strong> Academy will need<br />

to raise approximately $2.1 million in tax-deductible contributions.<br />

Over the past 30 years, these generous donations have made it possible<br />

to offset the tuition costs of our students.<br />

Supporters give charitable gifts in a variety of ways, monthly<br />

or annually. Supporters who give $1,000, or more, during the<br />

course of the year are matched with a specific student at the school<br />

and the supporter receives monthly correspondence from that student,<br />

providing you with a tangible way of seeing what your gift is<br />

providing in the life of a student you will get to know.<br />

WAYS TO INCREASE GIVING<br />

AT NO ADDITIONAL COST<br />

The Alabama Accountability Act has provided a two-fold<br />

blessing. One , AAA has provided us the means to expand as a<br />

school, and over the last 5 years we have been able to double our<br />

K5 through 4th grade. Two , it allows our supporters to increase<br />

their contributions to RA by giving up to 50% of their state-tax<br />

liability to a scholarship granting organization (Scholarships<br />

for Kids) to assist students who are zoned for failing schools or<br />

who live at a certain threshold of poverty. We are on track to<br />

expand to over 520 students in the very near future.<br />
