The Lansing Christian School Foundation holds investments which are board-designated funds functioning as endowments. The purpose of the endowment funds is to provide long-term financial support to the Association for Christian Instruction d/b/a Lansing Christian School. The Foundation has a policy of appropriating for distribution to the Association for Christian Instruction d/b/a Lansing Christian School each year between 4.5 and 5 of the average fair value of the endowment based on the most recent five calendar year ends. The Board of Directors approves the spending rate each year within the range of 4.5 to 5.0, and any additional amounts to be distributed, based on its consideration of a number of factors, including the current economic times, the number of families attending the School, and other factors. In recent years, the Foundation has made additional discretionary distributions to the School based on the current operational needs of the School. The Foundation made contributions/grants of $48,765 to Lansing Christian School during the year ended August 31, 2025. Part X : FIN48 Footnote The School is a tax-exempt organization under Section 501c3 of the Internal Revenue Code and, except to the extent the School has unrelated business income, is exempt from federal income taxes. There is no provision for income taxes in the accompanying financial statements as the School had no unrelated business income activity for the years ended August 31, 2025 and 2024. As of August 31, 2025 and 2024, the School had no uncertain tax positions. In addition, the School qualifies for the charitable contribution deduction under Section 170b1A and has been classified as an organization other than a private foundation under Section 509a2. true true true true true true true false false false false false false false false false false true Schedule E, Line 3 - Racially Nondiscriminatory Policy Publicized THE NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY IS DESCRIBED IN LITERATURE, INCLUDED IN NEWSPAPER ADVERTISEMENTS, AND IN BROADCAST MEDIA, WHENEVER THESE MEDIA ARE USED.

The tuition assistance program is need-based and requires the family to apply for assistance by completing an application and provide financial information. An outside service is used to summarize the applicants' information and provide inputs on the amount of financial need so it can be evaulated and compared. A committee of board members meets periodically to review applications and approve financial assistance. Once awarded, the financial assistance is applied directly to the student accounts. As such, the use of the funds is always for their intended and approved use.
