Close your checkbook, and open your heart. Although cash donations are very much a necessity to WCA’s long-term health and to help students with scholarship needs, not everyone has the ability to contribute monetarily.

There are tons of ways that you can help out Williamsburg Christian Academy with donations of time and skills, by diverting Virginia tax dollars to WCA through the use of tax credits, and even by simply shopping for what you already buy!

Here are Ten Ways to help WCA with a Non-Cash Donation:

New2You-: The New2You Thrift store takes donations (which you can write off on your taxes), and then sells those items. The net proceeds are donated directly to WCA!! Located at 4500 John Tyler Highway in Williamsburg. New2You was founded as a business set up specifically to help WCA and has donated over $100,000 in the last three years. New2You is also a great place to shop! They have tons of top-shelf furniture, flatware, and decor for ROCK-BOTTOM prices!

Show Your Colors: We have dozens of very cool and hip Eagle Gear offerings including t-shirts, polos, hats and all kinds of varieties of gear for the WCA faithful in the WCA Spirit Shop! The Spirit Shop will be offering FREE SHIPPING on all items purchased September 19th-23rd….don’t miss out! A portion of all sales (20%) goes to WCA programs.

Spirit Nights: Spirit nights are generally planned throughout the year by the WCA Community Association in both eateries and other venues that will be fundraisers for Athletic Boosters and regular school funds.

To Top it Off: As always, we have our BoxTops program. Submitting Box Tops to the office allows us to turn them in for funds we can use for books and other educational supplies. Now it is even easier to submit boxtops with their online app. See their website for more info!

Power Boost: If you are paying money to buy tickets to athletic contests, a membership to the WCA Athletics Boosters gets you and your family into all contests free and higher levels come with apparel perks. Go Eagles!!

Out of Uncle Sam’s pocket and into ours: The donation of stock can have substantial benefits over donating cash. This article explains how the donation of stock as a charitable gift can double down your tax savings! Contact info@williamsburgchristian.org for more information! There is also an aggressive tax credit program that allows businesses to almost completely divert state income taxes through donation to WCA! Click here for more info.

May I tag you?: Most of our local grocery retailers, including Harris Teeter, have Education reward programs. At Harris Teeter, your VIC card can be linked to WCA, and every purchase of Harris Teeter brands results in a donation to the school.

Join the WCA Community Association! Our WCACA is extraordinary and helps the school not only in events, but also fundraisers, teacher and staff appreciation events, and in tasks that if we did not have volunteers to help complete, would cost the school thousands of dollars. Join the WCACA!

Shop til you Drop: We currently have an account with Amazon Smile, a special shopping program that gives a small percentage donation of everything you buy to WCA! To access WCA’s program DIRECT Amazon Smile page, click HERE.

And that’s not all! We are actively searching for passive fundraising sources that can allow you to just link existing cards to rewards, or special restaurant giveback programs you just reference when you receive your bill….we’ll let you know as we compile more programs!
