Arizona Tax Credit Program / Programa de Crédito Fiscal de Arizona

Arizona Tax Credit Program

The Arizona Tax Credit Program allows Arizona taxpayers to contribute up to $200 for individuals and up to $400 for married couples (filing jointly) for the support of extracurricular activities at a public/charter school of their choice and receive a dollar for dollar tax credit on their Arizona state income tax. A regulation change for the 2019 Tax Credit allows families to make a 2020 eligible tax credit up to April 15, 2020. Please visit the Arizona Department of Revenue website for this information.

Anyone who files an Arizona tax return can contribute. Simply contribute online to Ethos Academy – A Challenge Foundation Academy by April 15, 2020. We will mail you a receipt with the school’s tax code to verify your contribution for tax purposes. You do not need to have a child at Ethos Academy to contribute and claim the tax credit. The money you donate to Ethos Academy’s Tax Credit Program will provide support for extracurricular activities such as tutoring, enrichment programs, field trips, and guest speakers.

Letter from our school director:

Greetings stakeholders!

My name is Tamara Salko and I am the School Director of Ethos Academy in Glendale, Arizona. I am joining forces with our Governing Board to invite you to join the movement. Would you like to know exactly how your tax dollars are used?  

We want to partner with you in providing more opportunities for our hardworking students. The tax season is around the corner and with it comes the chance for people to contribute to non-profit organizations via the Tax Credit. Please consider Ethos Academy as the recipient for these funds when it comes time for you to direct your tax dollars. These dollars ($200 per individual and $400 per couple) will be used to bolster and enhance extended opportunities for kids through our sports programs, extended care programs, and student government programs which include field trips for experiential learning. What students do after school really matters! Many of our children would not be able to participate in these programs without your help. Please invest in a child by investing in meaningful engagement and enriching activities supervised by responsible and caring adults. 

Upon receipt of these funds, we will provide you with documentation that you can give to your accountant and “cash” in your tax credit. You will get the exact amount back from the state when filing a return. The amount will be deducted from any tax debt or returned as a refund.

If you would like to learn more about how we intend to use these dollars please contact myself or any other member of our leadership team. We have set a goal to raise $20,000 through this program. Thank you in advance for your donation and advancing the vision, mission, and values of Ethos Academy.  

Saludos a los interesados!

Mi nombre es Tamara Salko y soy la directora escolar de Ethos Academy en Glendale, Arizona. Estoy uniendo fuerzas con nuestra Junta de Gobierno para invitarlos a unirse al movimiento. Le gustaría saber exactamente cómo se utilizan los dólares de sus impuestos?

Queremos asociarnos con usted para brindar más oportunidades a nuestros estudiantes trabajadores. La temporada de impuestos está a la vuelta de la esquina y con ella llega la oportunidad de que las personas contribuyan a organizaciones sin fines de lucro a través del Crédito Fiscal. Considere a Ethos Academy como el destinatario de estos fondos cuando llegue el momento de dirigir el dinero de sus impuestos. Estos dólares ($200 por persona y $400 por pareja) se utilizarán para reforzar y mejorar las oportunidades extendidas para los niños a través de nuestros programas deportivos, programas de atención extendida y programas de gobierno estudiantil que incluyen excursiones para el aprendizaje experimental. ¡Lo que hacen los estudiantes después de la escuela realmente importa! Muchos de nuestros niños no podrían participar en estos programas sin su ayuda. Invierta en un niño invirtiendo en un compromiso significativo y actividades enriquecedoras supervisadas por adultos responsables y solidarios.

Una vez recibidos estos fondos, le proporcionaremos documentación que puede entregar a su contador y “efectivo” en su crédito fiscal. Recibirá la cantidad exacta de regreso del estado cuando presente una declaración. El monto se deducirá de cualquier deuda tributaria o se devolverá como reembolso.

Si desea obtener más información sobre cómo pretendemos utilizar estos dólares, comuníquese conmigo o con cualquier otro miembro de nuestro equipo de liderazgo. Nos hemos fijado la meta de recaudar $20,000 a través de este programa. Gracias de antemano por su donación y el avance de la visión, misión y valores de Ethos Academy.

Sincerely,

Tamara Salko

School Director
