Warrior Foundation

The Warrior Foundation

For 40 years, MGCS has been home to talented, faithful educators in New Hanover County. They have poured themselves into a generation of students, often at a salary below what they could earn in public schools or the private sector. In a very real way, our teachers and staff are among the school’s largest donors.

While our pay is competitive with other private Christian schools in our region, it hasn’t kept pace with inflation and rising living costs. The Warrior Foundation exists to change that, so we can attract and retain the skilled, dedicated educators our students depend on and honor their sacrifice with fair compensation.

Our Challenge and Our Solution

The challenge: How do we attract, keep, and fairly pay an outstanding team without raising tuition beyond the reach of Christian families or overcrowding our school?

The solution: In the fall of 2022, we formed the Warrior Foundation, with the primary purpose of supplementing teacher and staff salaries.

The Warrior Foundation is a 501C3 Corporation and is managed by
Bob Warwick of CAPTRUST.
CAPT TRUST is based in North Carolina and is one of the largest financial advisory firms in the nation.

We’ve already capped enrollment and keep waiting lists to protect the culture of our school. The Foundation is a long-term answer that supports the faith and values of our families.

In 2022, we planted a tree we pray will benefit our teachers, staff, families, and students for years to come. The Warrior Foundation is that tree, and by the grace of God, it is already growing.

How Will the Warrior Foundation Help Our School Community?

When fully funded, the interest earned by the Foundation will help secure the future of MGCS by:

  • Supplementing teacher and staff salaries
  • Helping us retain our talented team
  • Investing in professional development

The principal will be carefully preserved through conservative investments, and the return will be distributed annually. A portion may support capital improvements or tuition assistance, but the primary purpose is our people.

Each member of our team has a great heart for our families and their children. They are here to serve our Lord and our families. Now we want to honor that service and invest in their well-being, year after year.

Our History and Our Future

The Warrior Foundation is managed by Mr. Bob Warwick, a faithful friend and supporter of MGCS since its founding in 1982.

Through generous gifts, pledges, good stewardship, and the sale of a portion of school property, the Foundation has grown to approximately $570,000 in earmarked funds. It is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit.

We are looking for those who want to join us in investing in our team and the next generation. This is an investment in our community, our faith, our values, our families, and those who will follow us. By helping plant this sheltering tree for our teachers and staff, you help ensure Christian faith and values are passed on.

Will You Join Us?

Your gift to the Warrior Foundation invests directly in the people who invest in our children.

Give to the Warrior Foundation.

Thank you for your consideration and prayers.
