Heritage Hall sincerely appreciates all gifts, large or small.  Please ask us how you can be involved in helping meet the ongoing needs of Heritage Hall Christian School.

​Campus Signage

Where is the elementary office?
How can I find the gym?
Where do I make a payment?
I'm here for a program; which way to the Fine Arts Center?


These are questions we hear often, sometimes from visitors who are in the parking lot!

Our goal is to add the following:
  • Wooden sign at the River Road entrance with an  arrow indicating the elementary office. We have approximately $950.00 from the senior class gifts already designated for this project.  [This project will be put on hold as the church sign project gets underway.]
  • "Home of the Patriots" lettering above the north gym entrance.
  • Lettering on the north face of the Fine Arts Center.

​Ongoing Gym Renovation​

Bleachers: $33,260.00 quoted in 2015
(approximately $7,200.00 has been given to date)
Our Jog-a-Thon is scheduled for April 30, 2020, to raise the remaining amount needed to replace the bleachers.  Whether you choose to sponsor a student or give a separate gift, your support is appreciated.  

Lobby updates: 
  • Team banners
  • Paint in hallway, restrooms
  • New flooring in the lobby
  • Ticket booth

​HHCS Scholarships

The HHCS Scholarship Fund is designated to help current HHCS families. The Fund was established by the families of Ron and JoAnn Ray, Keith Furry, and Savannah Posey.

HHCS Scholarships are awarded at the discretion of the Administrator and Pastor to (1) create a pathway for a Choice Scholarship in the future, (2) help pay fees not covered by other scholarships, (3) provide assistance for faculty children and (4) encourage struggling church families who need assistance. 

Current need is approximately $65,000.00 per year. 

Andy Habegger Memorial Scholarship Fund

Scholarships are awarded to Heritage Hall graduating seniors who are enrolling full-time at Bob Jones University or Maranatha Baptist University.

This is a one-time, non-renewable scholarship. $1,500.00 is awarded annually, divided equally among the eligible graduates, and paid directly to the university by the semester. Students must confirm their enrollment, course load, and academic eligibility each semester.

Donations come from memorial gifts and the offering received at Commencement.

​Technology

Technology needs are two-fold:
(1) Staying current with the latest versions that are compatible with the programs we use and
(2) providing an adequate number of PCs/laptops for teacher as well as accessibility for students.

But the IDOE requires all students to test electronically in 2018-19. We do not have enough devices to accommodate every student in grades 3-8.

This requires expanding not only our equipment, but also our instruction to give students hands-on experience with the computers before taking the test. We want to test students' learning, not keyboard skills.

The needs to be accomplished by Christmas so we can provide adequate hands-on practice prior to the spring testing dates. 

Estimated Costs
30 Chromebooks: $11,145.40
(Includes all devices, licenses, charging cart)
30 Headphones: $12-$16 each
7 Mimio Interactive Boards: $13,293.00


Other Needs

Teacher Compensation
​Endowment Fund

Begun in 2000, this fund is managed by The Community Foundation of Muncie and Delaware County and generates approximately $10,000.00 annually.

Available funds are distributed to teachers in the form of bonuses and continuing education costs associated with maintaining our AACS accreditation.

The original goal was to establish a base of $500,000.00 from which to earn interest. We are about half-way to that goal. Donors are encouraged to consider this fund as part of an estate planning portfolio.

Scholarships For Education Choice

SGO Scholarships are awarded to supplement or fill in the gap for families who do not qualify for a full voucher.  What a blessing your donations are to us and to our students and families.

The state of Indiana allocates a fixed sum of money to cover the tax credits issued for donations to Scholarships for Education Choice (or what we call our SGO Scholarship Fund).  The Sagamore Institute is our SGO (Scholarship Granting Organization).  The money allocated by the State operates on a fiscal year, July to June; but the tax credits are based on the calendar tax year, January to December. 


The best time to donate to Scholarship for Education Choice is between July and November to ensure that you get the tax credit.  Gifts must be received in the Sagamore Institute office by Dec 31 to be eligible for the current year tax credit.

NEW IRS RULING regarding QCD:
In August of 2018, the IRS put a notice out that the charitable contribution allowed for gifts made after August 27, 2018 would be reduced by the amount of any state tax credit received. Instead of being able to deduct the whole amount of an SGO gift on federal taxes, Indiana donors who itemize may only deduct half of the amount of the gift. That ruling was finalized in June of this year with a clarification that donors who have under $10,000 in State and Local Taxes may deduct the other half of their gift as state taxes paid (not on the charitable gift line).


The new information seems to indicate that a donor can’t donate from a QCD AND take a state tax credit.  It is our understanding that a donor could donate from an IRA and receive the tax credit, but it would be a regular (taxable) distribution rather than a QCD. 

Donors should check with their own tax professional to avoid unexpected outcomes.

This affects only distributions sent directly from an IRA to Sagamore.  It DOES NOT affect gifts paid by check or cash (which have already been subject to tax).  It also DOES NOT affect IRA distributions directly to any other charitable organization that does not issue state tax credits for your gift.

School Store

This online shopping program helps our school earn cash without students selling door-to-door.  Over 400 merchants have joined together to offer up to 50% of sales to our school for shopping through SchoolStore.com.  Last year our parents and friends shopped and earned over $970.00 for Heritage Hall. Our goal for 2020 is $1,500.00 that will be used for gym renovations.
