Your dollar-for-dollar tax credit donation makes Christian Education possible for our family.
Hello Friends & Family,
Andrew is now a junior! Wow, where did the time go? Feels like I was just walking him into Kindergarten. This year, he has decided to take weight training and ASL as part of his electives at Valley Christian high school. I am so excited to see his sign language skills and muscles grow! Joshua is in 6th grade at Valley Christian elementary and is excited that he gets to learn a new language this year, Spanish! Next time you see him, ask him to say something for you in Espanol! We know our children are receiving an excellent education in a loving and nurturing environment, as well as developing skills to equip them to live in the world as we know it. Most importantly, they are growing spiritually. I love hearing about the discussions Andrew has during his bible class or watching Joshua act out his memory verse for the week. Our goal is to keep them enrolled at Valley Christian through the 12th grade.
Our family would like you to consider taking advantage of the Private School Tax Credit by recommending Andrew and Joshua to receive scholarships while you receive a dollar-for-dollar credit when you file your state taxes. We feel blessed that we get to send our boys to this amazing school where they get to learn about our Savior every single day. We certainly would not have this opportunity if it weren't for the generous scholarships that we receive from ACSTO because of donations from all of our family and friends. Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you again for your support!
Love, Josh, Sara, Andrew & Joshie
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!
