hy We Need Help
Emmanuel Christian Academy's enrollment consists of children living in the struggling inner-city communities of greater Akron. Two-thirds of our student population are at or below federal poverty guidelines; almost all are minority students, and half come from single-parent homes.
In order to support these children and their families, Emmanuel awards over $100,000 annually in financial aid so the children can receive the benefit of an excellent Christ-centered education. Our annual Benefit Concert adds greatly to the support, however, it is not enough. We need the help of individuals, families, businesses, and the community to collectively support the students at Emmanuel and the operations of our school.
One way that you can help is to make a financial donation to Emmanuel Christian Academy. ECA is a 501(c)3 organization. Donations are tax deductible. In-Kind donations like educational products, technology (recent computers or classroom projectors, and school supplies) are also needed.
