Support Our Capital Campaign

Revolution relies solely on community support, not state, lottery, or school bond funds, to build our facilities. Join our fundraising campaign today!

Welcome to the Revolution Rising Giving Page!

Public funding sustains our day-to-day operations — not our new upper school facilities — so it is private generosity that shapes our future. With your support, we’re raising funds to build a new $30 million upper school on 65 acres in Summerfield, NC. The 6th to 12th grade upper school will be home to 784 young scholars and is located at 5322 Bunch Road.

Currently housed in rented space at Central Baptist Church in Oak Ridge, with hundreds of families on a waiting list, the school’s new facility will provide state-of-the-art facilities, expansive outdoor spaces, and endless opportunities for growth and innovation.

A new school requires community partnership, as state funding doesn’t cover land or construction. By rallying together, we can ensure Revolution Academy public charter school thrives for generations, offering stability and opportunity to countless students. Your support—through donations, advocacy, or spreading the word—makes this vision real. Together, we can create a lasting legacy of education and values in Guilford County. Let’s invest in a future where every child can succeed.
