Support, Giving, and Fundraising!

We are grateful for your support, and there are many avenues for you to give to Torrington Christian Academy! Contributions help to sustain and enhance our programs, facilities, and the overall educational experience of students.

Whether it is to recognize the extraordinary experience you received as an alumnus, to make a difference in the education of your child or grandchild, or simply because you know the value of a TCA education, your gifts ensure that Torrington Christian Academy continues to provide the best possible education for our students and for generations to come. Thank you for your support!

Direct Financial Giving

Direct donations are tax-deductible.

Checks can be made payable to “Torrington Christian Academy” with a memo note of “Donation”.

Indirect Financial Giving

This is a simple and automatic way for you to support Torrington Christian Academy every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you’ll find the exact same shopping experience as Amazon.com, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a portion of the purchase price to Torrington Christian Academy!

How do I select a charitable organization to support when shopping on AmazonSmile?

If using a desktop, go to smile.amazon.com, and select “First Assembly of God Torrington*” to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin shopping.  Amazon will remember your selection, and then every eligible purchase you make at smile.amazon.com will result in a donation. Tip: Bookmark smile.amazon.com to your desktop’s browser!

If using the Amazon App on your smartphone or tablet, go to the menu (with the three dashed horizontal lines), select “Settings”, and then select “AmazonSmile”. Follow the prompts to “Turn on AmazonSmile” and select “First Assembly of God Torrington*” to receive the donations. (Note: Turning this on ensures that all future purchases made on your smartphone or tablet will go directly to TCA, unless you manually go into “Settings” and turn it off.)

* Torrington Christian Academy is under the tax umbrella of the First Assembly of God, Torrington. Thus, you will search for and select “First Assembly of God Torrington” as the “charitable donation”. 100% of all donations given through AmazonSmile will go to Torrington Christian Academy.
