Help Provide Quality Educations to Arizona’s Youth Without Spending A Dime!

The State of Arizona offers a TAX CREDIT to provide financial support for extracurricular activities or character education programs in Arizona’s public schools. This tax credit allows those that qualify to take a dollar-for-dollar tax credit, up to $400, for a donation of cash to ecademie High School.

If you will have a tax liability this year, you are able to make a contribution to ecademie High School to help offset the liability amount that would be paid to the State of Arizona. In order to take advantage of the State of Arizona Public School Tax Credit, an itemization of your deductions and charitable contributions on the Arizona state income tax return will be necessary to establish a baseline year and amount. Upon the establishment of the baseline year for charitable giving, an increase of your charitable giving over your baseline year amount must be maintained. The Arizona Public School Tax Credit is different from the private school tax credit or the Arizona Assistance to the Working Poor Tax Credit, which provides assistance to charities that serve the working poor. You are eligible to receive dollar-for-dollar tax credits for all three.
