Much like the body of Christ, it takes many roles to make FCS operate smoothly! Read on to learn how to contribute your time or resources to partner with us in what God is doing here.
Ways to Give Financially
We believe that being a good steward of the resources God has entrusted us with means that we should keep costs to our families as low as possible. We rely on your donations to fund various projects. Here’s where we need your help:
- FCS Donation is a general fund that is used where it’s needed most, such as: school supplies, operational expenses and technology upgrades.
- The FCS Student Scholarship Fund directly helps students who are in need of financial assistance.
- The FCS Building Fund is applied to necessary maintenance and upgrade projects on the school campus.
- The FCS Gym Flooring Fund will provide 10,000 square feet of high-use and more athlete-friendly flooring.

Volunteering
Each parent is invited to volunteer in the school. We’d love for you to be a part of what’s happening at FCS. To learn about current volunteer opportunities, contact Anna Park at [email protected].
Direct Taxes to FCS
The Georgia Private School Tax Credit allows Georgia income taxpayers to allocate their tax dollars to private schools. In turn, these taxpayers receive dollar-for-dollar credit off of their income tax – making the cost of the donation essentially zero.
In addition to your Georgia income tax credit, if you itemize deductions on your federal income tax return, your donation will be deductible as a charitable contribution for federal income tax purposes.
Donation and Tax Deduction
You can also take a charitable contribution deduction on your federal return in addition to a tax credit on your state return. Scholarship money will be distributed by the Christian International Counseling and Ministries (CICM) Student Scholarship Organization, not by the Department of Revenue.
Here is how to apply:
- Please complete form IT-QEE-TP1.
- Mail it to the GA DOR immediately.
- The Department of Revenue will approve your request within 30 days if there are sufficient funds left.
- You will receive an approval letter back in the mail.
- Contact Christian International Counseling and Ministries to complete the process.
