Your dollar-for-dollar tax credit donation makes Christian Education possible for our family.
Dear Friends and Family,
Our family is deeply grateful for the opportunity our children have to attend Pusch Ridge Christian Academy. Christian education has been a life-changing gift for our family—academically, spiritually, and personally.
Amy’s Story
Hi, my name is Amy, and I am so thankful to be a student at Pusch Ridge Christian Academy. Being here has truly changed my life. I have grown not only academically, but also spiritually. I’ve learned the importance of discipline, responsibility, and doing my best in everything I do.
My teachers have helped me become more organized, take better notes, and believe in myself. More than anything, Pusch Ridge has helped me grow closer to God. I’ve learned more about the Bible, its history, and how to apply God’s Word to my life. This has strengthened my faith and is shaping the person I am becoming.
I feel incredibly blessed to be in a safe and loving environment where I am encouraged to learn, grow, and follow God’s purpose for my life.
Matthew’s Journey
Matthew is currently a 7th grader and is learning and growing in powerful ways through Christian education. He is discovering not only academics but also how to encourage others, serve his community, and grow in compassion and faith. Being in a Christ-centered environment nurtures his gifts and strengthens his character during these formative years.
How You Can Help
Our family has been incredibly blessed through the Private School Tax Credit program, which has helped make Amy’s and Matthew’s tuition at Pusch Ridge Christian Academy possible. This program has been such a gift to us—allowing families and friends to recommend their tax dollars directly toward Christian education. We continue to be amazed at how God provides through the generosity of others.
If you feel led to support this effort, we would be so grateful. Contributions to ACSTO (Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization) allow you to help Amy and Matthew in a very tangible way while also receiving a dollar-for-dollar Arizona tax credit for your donation.
We truly cannot express how much it means to us that so many of you have walked alongside our family during this journey. Whether through donations, prayers, or simply checking in, every act of support has made a meaningful difference in our lives.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for believing in our children, investing in their education, and supporting our family’s journey of faith.
With gratitude,
Abimael & Maria Gomez


As an Arizona taxpayer, your donation to ACSTO provides scholarships for students to attend Christian Schools while you receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit against your state tax liability!
A tax credit is very different than a charitable deduction—rather than reduce your taxable income, it directly reduces your state tax liability (a.k.a. the tax you pay). This means that at the end of the year, if you normally receive a refund, you’ll get a bigger refund. If you normally owe taxes, you’ll owe less. It is to your advantage to participate in this program!
For example, if your tax liability is $1,000 and you make a $750 donation to ACSTO, your liability will be reduced to $250.
In addition, you can donate all the way up until Tax Day or before you file your taxes (whichever of these comes first), and still claim the credit for the previous tax year.
The best part? ACSTO uses your tax credit donation to award tuition scholarships to Christian School students attending one of our Partner Schools. You can even identify a school or recommend a specific student to be considered for a scholarship.
Thank you for making Christian Education affordable for thousands of Arizona families!
