Power and Grace Preparatory Academy is growing in its enrollment and impact. In looking to the future of PGPA, we must facilitate a learning environment for students and educators alike that champions academic excellence as an attainable and plausible goal. With that desire in mind, we have found the ideal property to make that vision happen and seek funds to build on the 337 Peterson Lane property. This 21-acre property that sits in the heart of the city will allow PGPA to more than double our capacity and expand our current pre-k3 through the 5th-grade program to include 6th through 8th grades. This growth potential would mean that our preparatory academy would have its future home!
To make this possible, we have launched Empowered by Education/Saved by Grace, a capital campaign for Power and Grace Preparatory Academy.
Since launching the campaign in September 2020, we are excited to announce that we have reached nearly 200,000 in gifts and pledges. In addition, 100% of our board, faculty, and staff have committed to this campaign! We hope that you will prayerfully consider joining us in this important endeavor. To learn more about how you and your family can be involved, please contact me at 931-320-9862 or by email at Kstall.powerandgrace@gmail.com.

Are you interested in providing an IRA Charitable Rollover?
IRA charitable donations are an alternative to taxable required distributions.
Are you charitably minded and have a significant amount of money in an IRA? If you’re age 70½ or older and don’t need the money from required minimum distributions, you may benefit by giving these amounts to charity.
IRA distribution basics
A popular way to transfer IRA assets to charity is through a tax provision that allows IRA owners who are 70½ or older to give up to $100,000 per year of their IRA distributions to charity. These distributions are called qualified charitable distributions, or QCDs. The money given to charity counts toward the donor’s required minimum distributions (RMDs) but doesn’t increase the donor’s adjusted gross income or generate a tax bill.
So while QCDs are exempt from federal income taxes, other traditional IRA distributions are taxable (either wholly or partially, depending on whether you’ve made any nondeductible contributions over the years).
Unlike regular charitable donations, QCDs can’t be claimed as itemized deductions.
Keeping the donation out of your AGI may be important because doing so can:
- Help the donor qualify for other tax breaks (for example, a lower AGI can reduce the threshold for deducting medical expenses, which are only deductible to the extent they exceed 10% of AGI);
- Reduce taxes on your Social Security benefits; and
- Help you avoid a high-income surcharge for Medicare Part B and Part D premiums (which kicks in if AGI hits certain levels).
In addition, keep in mind that charitable contributions don’t yield a tax benefit for those individuals who no longer itemize their deductions (because of the larger standard deduction under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act). So those who are age 70½ or older and are receiving RMDs from IRAs may gain a tax advantage by making annual charitable contributions via a QCD from an IRA. This is because this charitable contribution will reduce RMDs by a commensurate amount, and the reduction will be tax-free.
Annual limit
There’s a $100,000 limit on total QCDs for any one year. But if you and your spouse both have IRAs set up in your respective names, each of you is entitled to a separate $100,000 annual QCD limit, for a combined total of $200,000.
Plan ahead
The QCD strategy can be a smart tax move for high-net-worth individuals over 70½ years old. Don’t wait until year-end to act if you’re interested in this opportunity. Contact us for more information.

PGPA FUNdraising for Academic Success
As is the nature of any privately funded educational institution, all of the money needed to provide a quality program cannot come from tuition alone. Various financial programs are needed to aid the school to reach academic success!
At Power and Grace Preparatory Academy, there will be fundraisers that we will specifically need your volunteer time and financial support, in order to reach the annual fundraising goal. Throughout the school year, there will be four planned fundraisers. We respectfully ask that for these events parents invest beyond their tuition by supporting these fundraisers.
PGPA students are not required to pay for their entry into PGPA fundraising events
PGPA students are asked to participate in all school programs and fundraising events
Parents are responsible for selling Gala tickets (Distributed in January)
Fundraiser Dates to Remember
August 20 – PGPA online sale of Merchandise (Book Store)
October 4-7 – Double Good Popcorn Fundraiser
February 16 – Online Art Auction and Poetry Contest
April 27 – Annual Gala
