Editor,

Nov. 28 is designated at Giving Tuesday and follows Black Friday and Cyber Monday right after Thanksgiving. Many folks are looking for a year-end tax-deductible donation organization to support and this day highlights the ways in which people can contribute to a worthy cause.

The special session of the state legislature just concluded, and the Montana Tax Credit is still available to citizens who wish to receive a dollar for dollar tax credit in their income taxes for 2017. By contributing up to $150 before Dec. 31 to the Big Sky scholarship program which benefits families that attend private schools around the state, individuals (or couples up to $300) will receive credit on their 2017 tax return. If you have questions or need assistance, please contact your local representative or the MVCA office.

The Mission Valley Christian Academy is celebrating this giving day by offering to sponsor one of our outstanding teachers’ salary with the goal of raising $25,000 between Nov. 28 – Dec. 19. Half of the teachers employed at MVCA have a Master’s degree and each one has more than one year of experience. We are fortunate to have such caring, yet highly qualified teachers and because they see working at MVCA as a ministry, they are willing to share their teaching gift in our small school for less than they could make in a public school.

Please consider a year-end tax-deductible gift of one day of a MVCA salary for $125, a week for $650 or a month for $2,500. A gift of any amount will help the school reach their $45,000 fundraising goal. Over 88 percent of the school budget is directed to teacher salaries and we hope to continue to increase our teachers’ pay so they are on par with their public counterparts. Please visit missionvalleychristianacademy. net to donate online or find more information.

In Second Corinthians, Paul states that “God loves a cheerful giver” so consider sharing the abundance we enjoy in this great nation with those around us cheerfully and generously. On behalf of the Mission Valley Christian Academy, thanks for considering giving on this special day to organizations who serve our local communities.
