Fox Valley Lutheran High School is owned and operated by a federation of 39 WELS (Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Synod) churches from across the Fox River Valley. Each congregation is represented in the government of the school with representation on the school's General Board which meets three times annually.
By General Board resolution, the congregations are to cover 40 percent of the operating cost of the school's annual budget. While there are a number of congregations do support at the 40 percent level, currently operational support from the Federation congregations slipped to only 21 percent of the total budget in 2006-2007. This shortfall puts greater pressure on tuition (over 70% of budget) and third source income (over 7% of budget) as ways to fund the operation of the ministry.
Over the last five years, Federation church support has reached these levels.
