Tax Credit Donation
Support Excellence Across Our District
Arizona Tax Credit donations empower schools across our district to offer the experiences that matter most — athletics, arts, enrichment programs, field trips, clubs, tutoring, and student support services. Your gift helps meet real needs at every grade level and ensures students have access to opportunities that inspire learning, belonging, and success.
Give today. Make an impact across our schools.
How it works:
Arizona’s Tax Credit program allows you to direct a portion of your state income taxes to public schools instead of the state. Individuals may contribute up to $200, and married couples filing jointly may contribute up to $400 — and receive that full amount back as a dollar-for-dollar tax credit when filing. Anyone who pays Arizona state taxes can participate — parents, grandparents, staff, alumni, and community members.
