Fiscal year: July 1 - June 30
Cash gifts and payments on pledges will be counted in the fiscal year in which they are received. Gifts to the Annual Fund must be received by June 30 to be counted within that fiscal year.
Payment Options
Gifts may be made by:
Annual Fund
Gifts to the Annual Fund go to general operations including faculty and coaches salaries, maintenance on our buildings and grounds, faculty in-services and much more. The Annual Fund helps make up the short fall between tuition income and actual expenses. Thanks to the generosity of friends of the school, we are able to keep our tuition as affordable as possible.
Company Matching Gifts
Your contribution may qualify for a matching donation from your employer. Some corporations will match dollar-for-dollar.
Company Payroll Deductions
Some companies allow you to give to a charity of your choice through payroll deductions. Inquire if your company provides this service.
Planned Giving
Gifts such as bequests, life insurance and charitable trusts are samples of planned giving vehicles. These gifts can provide significant support for the schools and allow us to plan for future programs and capital improvements.
Stocks and Securities
Long-term (over one year), appreciated stocks and securities are often an excellent way to provide charitable support for the school. Gifts of appreciated stock are a great way to receive a current income tax deduction and avoid capital gain taxes. This type of charitable gift can be applied to a designated project or to Annual Fund. Gifts of stock can be given electronically to the school directly from your stockbroker. If you would like to make a gift of stock to the school, we can efficiently handle the transfer of this asset.
Real Estate
Gifts of real estate such as land, vacation property, single-family homes, offices, ranches and condominiums are an excellent way to support the mission of the schools while providing the donor with a charitable income tax deduction and avoidance of capital gains taxes on the sale of the real estate. Please contact the Development Office for more information.
United Way Giving
Although Pusch Ridge Christian Academy and Cornerstone Christian Academy are not official United Way agencies, you may still designate a donation to our schools. Our United Way code is 1403, or simply name Pusch Ridge Christian Academy or Cornerstone Christian Academy Tucson, Arizona.
Tuition Tax Credits for Private Schools
If you pay Arizona state income taxes, this is a great way to support Christian education and take the entire amount off your Arizona taxes. This is a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit of up to $1,000 if you file jointly or $500 if you file individually.
In-Kind Gifts of Property and Services
Gifts of property and services are greatly appreciated. The IRS regulates donations of usable computers, artwork, antiques, or vehicles differently than cash donations. Please contact the Development Office if you are interested in giving personal property or services to the school.
"He brought us to this place and gave us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey; and now I bring the firstfruit of the soil that you, O Lord, have given me. Place the basket before the Lord your God and bow down before him." - Deuteronomy 26:9-10
