The Grace Foundation is a nonprofit organization created by RCLS parents to help secure both short-term and long-term financial resources for the school. While we work closely with RCLS, we are a separate entity, allowing us to focus solely on raising funds for the school.
Since 2014, The Grace Foundation has raised over $1.7 million for RCLS, including two endowments: The Bobcat Fund (general fund for RCLS) and The Andrea Hanson Scholarship Fund (scholarships for RCLS students).
These endowments are designed to grow over time, providing long-term financial support for RCLS.
The Blue & White Night Gala is an annual fundraising event with one clear goal: to support Rochester Central Lutheran School (RCLS) and empower our students to reach their fullest potential.
Proceeds from the event go directly towards funding educational programs, providing scholarships for families in need, and enhancing the overall student experience at RCLS.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our students and ensure a bright future for generations to come.
We owe so much to our wonderful sponsors!
