This program allows corporations to donate to certified STOs and receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit against their Arizona tax liability. In 2025 up to $135M is available in AZ state tax credits each fiscal year that can be directed to low-income students and an additional $6M can be offset to support disabled/displaced. There is no set limit to the amount a single corporation can claim. The pre-approval application period opens in early July and has recently been subscribed to after the first couple of weeks. To claim this credit, you must work with a STO certified by the state to help you navigate the process — contact us today. See our FAQ for more details.

Individual Tax Credit

  • Impact on Students: STOs provide scholarships to students attending private Christian schools, enabling them to attend private schools that might otherwise be unaffordable.
  • Dual Benefit: Donations to STOs offer a win-win situation: donors receive a tax credit, and students receive educational opportunities.
  • Easy Process: Donating to an STO is simple and can be done through various methods, including online, mail, or phone.
  • Employer Matching: Many companies offer to match employee donations to charitable organizations, including STOs.
  • Deadline: While you can donate any time of year, donations made between January 1st and April 15th can be designated to apply to either the previous or current tax year.
  • Supporting School Choice: Donating to an STO supports the principle of school choice, allowing parents to choose the educational environment that best suits their child’s needs.
  • Beyond Tax Liability: Donors can give beyond their tax liability, and these additional donations may be deductible on their federal tax returns as well as available for future use within the next 5 tax years.
  • Transparency and Accountability: STOs are certified by the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) and must meet strict requirements, ensuring transparency and accountability in how donations are used.
  • Student Designation: Donors can recommend students, but it is never a guarantee that the student specified will receive the full amount donated.
  • Consult a Professional: Donors should consult with a tax advisor or CPA to understand the full tax implications of their donation.
