Benefit

As a community (charter) school, Cincy Classical operates on significantly

less funding than district public schools. 

We are proud that we can do more with less. Nonetheless, giving is vital to help bridge the funding gap and ensure that Cincy Classical is able to meet the challenges of high demand and continued growth. 

All gala proceeds will benefit the Cincinnati Classical Academy and the school’s supporting organization, Friends of Cincinnati Classical Academy. “Friends” is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charity (EIN 93-1771146) whose purpose is to support the mission of the school through advancement and development efforts. Gifts to Friends may qualify as charitable deductions for tax purposes to the extent permissible by law.
