About The King’s Academy (TKA)
The King’s Academy Dallas is a Christ-centered school committed to transforming lives through academic excellence, spiritual formation, and opportunity. Located in South Dallas, TKA serves a diverse student body and is deeply focused on expanding access to high-quality, faith-based education for families who otherwise could not afford it. The school is known for strong student outcomes, a high-touch community, and a mission-driven approach to education that develops the whole child—academically, spiritually, and relationally. TKA is entering a pivotal season of growth. With the launch of a new federal tax credit for Scholarship Granting Organizations (SGOs), the school has a unique opportunity to dramatically expand scholarship funding and reach more families.
The King’s Academy is launching a major initiative tied to a new federal tax credit that allows individuals to redirect up to $1,700 per year toward scholarship funding. We are hiring a high-output, sales-driven leader to build and execute the donor acquisition engine behind this initiative.
