Help Students at
Emmaus Lutheran School
Your dollar-for-dollar tax credit donation to ACSTO provides scholarships to students at
Emmaus Lutheran School.
Emmaus Lutheran School’s mission is to nurture our families by providing an education that glorifies and proclaims the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our students are empowered to use their God-given talents to be faithful Christian leaders of the future. Our school teaches all subjects in the light of God’s Word. The students are taught to use their time, talents, and treasures to God’s glory and encourage students to share their faith with others. They are also taught to communicate effectively both orally and through written word, to think critically, to employ effective organizational skills and to be ready for success in high school.
Without this program, many of our families would simply not have the financial resources to be able to send their children to Emmaus Lutheran School. By taking advantage of Tuition Tax Credit Scholarships, more families are able to afford a Christian education.
As an Arizona taxpayer, your donation to ACSTO provides scholarships for students to attend Christian Schools while you receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit against your state tax liability!
A tax credit is very different than a charitable deduction—rather than reduce your taxable income, it directly reduces your state tax liability (a.k.a. the tax you pay). This means that at the end of the year, if you normally receive a refund, you’ll get a bigger refund. If you normally owe taxes, you’ll owe less. It is to your advantage to participate in this program!
For example, if your tax liability is $1,000 and you make a $750 donation to ACSTO, your liability will be reduced to $250.
In addition, you can donate all the way up until Tax Day or before you file your taxes (whichever of these comes first), and still claim the credit for the previous tax year.
The best part? ACSTO uses your tax credit donation to award tuition scholarships to Christian School students attending one of our Partner Schools. You can even identify a school or recommend a specific student to be considered for a scholarship.
Thank you for making Christian Education affordable for thousands of Arizona families!
