Pacifica launches the Founders' Challenge

December 1st, 2021


We are thrilled to announce an opportunity to raise $700,000 for our beloved Pacifica!

Not too long ago, Pacifica Christian High School did not exist; it’s hard to remember when this critical resource was not available to our community. In 2015, our founders, with faith and thoughtful strategy, brought into existence a school to teach this generation to think and live well — all to the glory of God.  

In early 2022, Pacifica will take its next bold step in our founding as we open the doors to our beautiful new Center for Learning. This new resource provides our students with dedicated facilities designed to enhance all aspects of our unique academic program. It also allows us to reach ideal enrollment, strengthening and enhancing our programs while impacting more deserving young lives. And as we look ahead to our tenth year of teaching and learning (Summer of 2025), our focus is to mature into one of the premier schools of our kind and size.

This growth is all very exciting. It is also a bit daunting. Expansion brings with it increased costs that won’t be fully covered until the school grows into its ideal enrollment. And yet we are greatly encouraged. These bold advancements allow each of us an opportunity to be a part of the joyful building of Pacifica and the intentional formation of young people. Between the remaining financial needs of this year’s Annual Fund ($1.76M) and our Building a Home Campaign ($1.98M), Pacifica is currently seeking a total of $3.74 million dollars in donations.

Today we are launching the Founders’ Challenge

To encourage and inspire the generosity of our community, Pacifica’s founders have committed a combined $350,000 matching gift! This is a genuine dollar-for-dollar match that we desire to meet by December 31, 2021. The Founders’ Challenge is a wonderful opportunity to double your giving towards this next bold step in strengthening Pacifica and our mission.
