AZ SCHOOL TAX-CREDIT
WHAT IS THE AZ SCHOOL TAX-CREDIT?The Arizona School Tax Credit Program allows taxpayers to direct a portion of their state tax dollars to support students at qualifying public and charter schools—at no additional cost. Individuals can contribute up to $200, and couples filing jointly can give up to $400. These contributions help fund extracurricular activities, character education, college readiness exams, and career preparation programs.

Positive adult mentorship through these activities, especially in the lives of vulnerable and disadvantaged youth, plays a vital role in a young person’s success. By creating opportunities to connect with coaches, teachers, and community leaders, students gain access to trusted role models who offer consistent guidance, encouragement, and support. These relationships help strengthen the networks young people rely on as they navigate challenges—empowering them to stay on track, build confidence, and reach their education goals.
Programs with positive adult mentorship supported by the Arizona School Tax-Credit help youth build confidence, stay on track, and reach their goals—but the impact doesn’t stop there. When students are surrounded by role models who believe in them, entire communities grow stronger. Supporting these activities means investing in a future filled with engaged, capable, and empowered citizens. Your tax-credit contribution supports more than a student’s journey—it invests in the shared future of us all.
