Help Grow a Student's
Heart and Mind
Desert Hills Presbyterian Church strives for More People, More Like Christ, which is why we have created our Christian Education Initiative. We want to help families choose a Christian worldview education for their children. Create the option for families to move their children into an environment that supports what the word of God teaches.
For families who desire to send their children to a private Christian School, we want to help them receive scholarships from ACSTO. Let’s come together as a body of Christ, and take advantage of giving to ACSTO and receiving a dollar-for-dollar tax credit!
When our church members give, they help provide scholarships for students to attend a Christian School. What a wonderful way to strive for More Students, More Like Christ!
"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6
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!
