Extracurricular Activities
High school is more than a classroom education. Students learn, grow and experience success and enhance self-esteem through a myriad of extracurricular activities - athletics, the arts, service clubs or competitive academic clubs, career-related organizations or student-interest clubs and activities. Active students have better grades, stay in school and develop leadership skills, or uncover talents they never knew they had. However, many activities are not fully funded by school districts. These programs depend on fees from students, booster clubs and fundraising to pay for
Arizona Education Tax Credit The Arizona Education Tax Credit allows single taxpayers or a head of household a credit of up to $200, and married couples filing jointly, up to $400, if they contribute to eligible extracurricular activities to our schools by December 31 of each year. You'll receive a dollar-for dollar tax credit on your state income taxes, which means taxpayers will have the amount of the contribution subtracted from the amount of taxes owed. This tax credit is available to all taxpayers, not just those with children in public schools.
How to Make a Donation Select a school (or schools if you want to split your donation) and the program you would like to assist.
