America’s Christian Credit Union (ACCU) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) today announced a new partnership focused on expanding access to Christian education through charitable giving and member engagement.

At the heart of the collaboration is ACCU’s designation of ACSI’s Children’s Tuition Fund (CTF),

as an official Visa Giveback recipient, empowering ACCU members to support Christian education through everyday purchases with an ACCU Visa Platinum card.

To launch the partnership, ACCU will make an initial $20,000 donation to the Children’s Tuition Fund, directly supporting families who need financial assistance to provide Christ-centered education for their children.

“The Children’s Tuition Fund is doing incredible work to make Christian education accessible to more families,” said ACCU CEO Vicki VannBerstein. “We’re honored to come alongside ACSI and give our members a simple, meaningful way to help students thrive.”

Through the Visa Giveback program,

qualifying ACCU Visa card usage will generate ongoing contributions to the Children’s Tuition Fund, creating a sustainable stream of support for tuition assistance. In addition, ACCU and ACSI are developing a co-branded online giving platform that will allow members to contribute directly to the Children’s Tuition Fund and further amplify its impact.

“What ACCU is doing through the Visa GiveBack Program is truly transformational,” said Temple Weiss, President of the Children’s Tuition Fund. “Every purchase becomes an opportunity to invest in students and expand access to Christian education through ACSI’s Children’s Tuition Fund. We are deeply thankful for this partnership”

Together, ACCU and ACSI aim to inspire a growing community of members and donors committed to investing in the next generation through faith-based education. For more information, visit americaschristiancu.com.
