Help Students at Phoenix
Christian School K-8
Your dollar-for-dollar tax credit donation to ACSTO provides scholarships to students at
Phoenix Christian School K-8.
The Mission of Phoenix Christian School PreK-8 (PCS) is to partner with Christian homes and Christian churches to educate children for lives of loving and obedient service to God, His kingdom, and all humankind. PCS has a strong legacy of upholding rigorous academic standards in classrooms led by quality, Christian teachers. All of the academics, arts, and athletics at PCS are unrelentingly centered on the cross of Christ, and students are encouraged to live lives of service to God out of gratitude for Christ's work on the cross.
Through the years, many PCS students have been blessed to receive scholarship dollars through ACSTO. As a donor and supporter you can donate your tax credit donation to PCS in general, or recommend a specific PCS student. These scholarships benefit PCS students by making it possible for their families to afford a Christian education here at Phoenix Christian School PreK-8!
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!
