OUR MISSION. YOUR IMPACT.
Giving to CSY
We praise God for growing enrollment and the opportunity to reach more families. As you might expect, with growth comes increasing needs for financial aid, staffing, and supplies. Your donation will help us to make an education at Christian School of York financially possible for more York County children. Will you join in our mission so that we can continue to grow our student population with children who become deeply rooted in truth and equipped to find their true identity in Jesus Christ?
Make an Impact on the Students of Today
CSY Annual Fund
The CSY Annual Fund is an unrestricted gift which helps to close the gap between the true cost of an education rich with uncompromising Biblical truth and the amount charged as tuition. For each student, there is a gap of $2,487 between the full tuition we charge and the cost of education. Your gift allows CSY the chance to grow our student population and to fulfill our mission of preparing children to make an impact on our community for Christ. It also enables us to attract and retain gifted educators. Lastly, your gift helps us maintain our campus and apply resources to the school’s greatest needs at the time.
Your Annual Fund gift makes all that happens at Christian School of York possible, so thank you in advance for your support!

Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.
2 Corinthians 9: 6-8

PA Tax Credit Program
What is EITC/OSTC?
The Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) and Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit (OSTC) Programs enable businesses and individuals to support nonprofit schools at minimal cost. Instead of sending tax dollars to Harrisburg, companies can reallocate tax money to support CSY’s financial aid program.
​
How much of a business' tax liability can be donated?
You can donate up to 100% of your tax liability, as long as it does not exceed the $750,000 per year maximum. Approved businesses receive a tax credit equal to 75% of the contribution for a one year commitment. The credit increases to 90% of the contribution if the business agrees to the same amount for two consecutive tax years.
Do I qualify?
Qualifying for the EITC and OSTC programs is simple.
