Could This Be Our LAST Year Without a Home for EVAC?
EVAC Families,
What if this could be our LAST school year without a home for EVAC? Not five years from now. Not some distant dream we hope will eventually happen.
With the necessary funding, permits, and construction progress, we are hopeful that an opening could be possible as early as the 2027–2028 school year!
We have made incredible progress!
Able Purpose Ministries (APM) has purchased the land with cash, architects and contractors are involved, plans and engineering have progressed, and we are moving toward construction.
But there is one very big challenge.
We still need millions of dollars to finish building it.
What Exactly Are We Building?
EVAC has partnered with APM to develop a campus that will serve two incredible ministries.
The plans include a gymnasium, athletic field, classrooms, and other spaces that will serve adults with special needs during the day and EVAC athletes in the evenings.
One facility. Two ministries. Generations of lives that could be blessed!
Here is where the project stands according to our published fundraising plan:
Land: Purchased and paid for! Approximately $2.25 million.
Planning, engineering, and permitting: This phase has been funded and paid for.
Building shell: Approximately $500,000–$750,000 in additional funding is needed.
Finishing the facilities: Estimated at approximately $4 million, potentially reduced through donated labor, materials, and services.

200~ Families. One Incredible Opportunity.
EVAC is a special and precious community of almost 200 Christian homeschool families.
I'm incredibly thankful for the generosity of the few families that have helped bring this project to where it is today.
But we need more of our EVAC community to get involved if we are going to make this dream a reality!
Here is my challenge: What if every EVAC family did its best to RAISE $10,000–$20,000?
Notice I didn't say personally DONATE that much.
I said RAISE it.
Maybe your family can give. Maybe you know grandparents, friends, business owners, or others who would love to contribute. Families with larger networks may even be able to raise considerably more!
And if $10,000 isn't realistic for your family, that's okay too! Set a smaller goal. Every gift and every family matters.
If just 100 families raised $10,000–$20,000 each, that would be $1 MILLION to $2 MILLION!
We've Made It Easy to Get Involved!
Through EVAC's Donorbox, your family can create its own fundraising page, set a goal, and share your story with people you know.
Here's how:
Select "I want to fundraise for this" at the top of the page.
Follow the instructions to register and create your family's fundraising page.
Once your page is approved, share your personal fundraising link!
Donations go directly to EVAC, and your page tracks how much your family helps raise.
Or, if you simply want to give, you can donate directly through the same link!
My hope isn't that every family gives the same amount.
My hope is that our community comes together to make this happen.
We don't need every family to be wealthy. We need families who believe in this mission to participate.
Will your family get involved and create a family fundraising page? Will this be our last year without a home for EVAC???
Let's build a this place together!
For His Glory!
