The Calvin Annual Fund: Parent Fund

Strengthen your son or daughter's education

When you send your child to Calvin, you’re automatically registered for the Calvin experience. Perhaps you’ve been to campus, enjoyed a picnic meal on the Common’s Lawn, taken in a concert in the Fine Arts Center, or cheered Calvin on during The Game.

Most likely you also help pay for your child’s tuition expenses, knowing that each payment is a sound investment in your child’s future. Though tuition covers most of your child’s educational expenses while at Calvin, the actual cost of a Calvin education would be almost $800 more per year if not for the generous support of parents and donors.

With your gift to the Calvin Parent Fund, you can help bridge the tuition-education gap and strengthen the education your son or daughter receives.

"Calvin's had a lifelong impact on our entire family. Even though we help pay tuition expenses, we give because our gifts to Calvin are an investment that will directly affect the world. We are seeing that Calvin's mission and the call to be "agents of renewal" in God's kingdom is really working in the lives of our own kids and other Calvin graduates."

~Sue and Dave Van Randwyk, parents of Calvin students Jamie '99, Stacy '03 and Kari '06
