Please make your check payable to the “Association of Classical Christian Schools” or “ACCS”.

To what address should I mail my year-end donation?

Will I receive a tax letter from ACCS for my gift?

I am giving a year-end gift, when is the last date that I can give a gift for this calendar year?
Any gift received that is postmarked by December 31 will be counted and confer tax benefit for the current calendar year.

Can I make a stock donation to ACCS?

If you want to make a donation, please contact our VP of Member Services and Advancement, Tim Dernlan. To schedule a meeting, please contact us: [email protected].

Does ACCS accept in-kind donations?
If you want to donate a boat, home, or a vehicle to ACCS, we can receive that gift and we will issue you a tax receipt for it.

To get that process started, please contact our VP of Member Services and Advancement, Tim Dernlan. To schedule a meeting, please contact us: [email protected].

Can I give a restricted gift to ACCS?
ACCS may be able to receive a restricted gift, but we would need to work with you to understand the purpose of your donation to make sure it fits with our mission and our priorities (see the next question).

We cannot receive gifts for member schools. Please give those gifts directly to our member school. If you need to find the school you want to give to, here is our School Finder Website.

How does ACCS use donations?
ACCS’s mission is to serve Christ and His Kingdom by serving the member schools of the Association and by growing the classical Christian schooling movement.

Our goal is to make a classical Christian education available to every Christian family in America. Here is a copy of our Case Statement for Giving.

Currently, we are working to raise awareness concerning classical Christian education in order to grow our member schools and to encourage families to start more schools. If you would like to subscribe to The Classical Difference magazine and keep up with the work we are doing, please click here: Subscribe to The Classical Difference.

We are also building training and resources to help schools, at every level, grow and thrive.

Finally, we are building resources in our CADE initiative to maintain the quality of our member schools over time. CADE stands for Certification, Accreditation, Diploma recognition and Endorsement.

If you want to learn more about the impact of classical Christian education and why we think it is so important to support these schools and to grow this movement, please visit the Good Soil Report website.
