The Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) is pleased to announce a partnership with RedefinED School Advancement, a fundraising partner that supports schools by managing comprehensive development operations. 

Through this partnership, RedefinED School Advancement will help resource ACSI member schools by expanding donor development opportunities to generate support through traditional charitable giving as well as state and federal tax credit programs where available. 

The partnership will also provide significant benefits for participants in ACSI’s Children’s Tuition Fund. By equipping schools with stronger fundraising infrastructure and expanded access to tax credit programs, schools will be better positioned to increase scholarship opportunities and financial assistance for families seeking Christian education. 

President of the ACSI Education Foundation Temple Weiss emphasized the importance of equipping Christian schools with sustainable funding solutions.  

“Small Christian schools often carry a big mission with limited resources to build and sustain donor support,” he said. “With federal Education Freedom Tax Credit contributions, this moment holds a significant opportunity. A key differentiator of the ACSI Children’s Tuition Fund is our school-friendly approach. This partnership is another way we are helping Christian schools build sustainable funding strategies so that more families can access Christ-centered education, and more students can be prepared spiritually and academically to live a life of faith and purpose." 

Alyse Maslonik, Founder and CEO of RedefinED School Advancement, highlighted the partnership's potential to expand educational opportunities. 

"This partnership represents an exciting opportunity for Christian schools across the country," she said. "Together with ACSI's Children's Tuition Fund, we are equipping schools with the strategies, tools, and support they need to sustainably grow and scale their scholarship programs. Our shared goal is simple: to help more families access a Christian education and ensure schools have the resources necessary to expand educational opportunity for generations to come. We are incredibly excited about the work ahead and the impact this collaboration will have on students, families, and school communities nationwide." 

The collaboration will provide schools with increased access to development expertise, donor engagement strategies, and tax credit fundraising opportunities designed to help schools build long-term financial stability.
