Support LCMS Schools
in Southern Arizona
Your dollar-for-dollar tax credit donation to ACSTO provides scholarships to students at
LCMS Southern Arizona Schools.
For more than 65 years, Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) Schools have provided a life-changing Christian Education to families that desired to enroll their children. Today, this excellent educational opportunity continues for students in Southern Arizona. We partner with ACSTO to make this happen!
Your donation to ACSTO provides scholarships for students to attend an LCMS school where they receive a biblical foundation on which they can build the rest of their lives.

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!
