Fundraising
Noah’s Ark is financed through the monthly payments of the parents, funding of the City of Vienna and donations coming from Christian circles and also from Sponsors, who want to further Christian upbringing and education. In order to provide an atmosphere for their children, to grow into independent thinking adults, who never stop learning and carry Gods character in them.
Several fundraising activities help us to support the work at the kindergarten and help the board to generate the means to cover the expenses of Christian education.
Your generous support enables our ministry to the children, who Jesus referred to as the „least of all“.
As we joyfully serve our community we would like to invite you to rejoice with us and celebrate the faithfulness of God and how he has blessed us when we needed it the most.
We ask you to pray about how God would have you use your finances that He has blessed you with. May God stir your heart and bless your decision. It is an investment with eternal reward.
On the part of the administration we consider it as an honor and a privilege to be entrusted to care for the funds God provides for these children.
At Noah´s Ark we maintain a low fee in order to make Christian education affordable.
However, our fees fall short of our annual budget. To fill this gap, we rely on donations from parents and friends of Noah´s Ark
Your financial support is appreciated and encouraged as it enables us to continue offering quality Christian education to students in Vienna especially to the southern commuter belt area. By supporting Noah´s Ark, you become a co-laborer with us in preparing young hearts and minds to reach their full potential, both spiritually and academically.
Financial support helps us fund scholarships to children that would otherwise not be able to attend. In the past we have been able to offer scholarships to families who qualify. It is our hope that through generous supporters, scholarships will be made available to more families in the future.
