Support West Valley Schools with Tax Credit through April 15, 2016
 
You don't have to have a child in school to contribute to education in Arizona through the School Tax Credit.  Tax credit monies are not used to fund regular school activities. The donations you make can only be used for extracurricular activities, like sports programs, field trips, after-school tutoring programs, after school arts programs, etc. or designated "character education programs." You are allowed to specify which programs you'd like your donation to support.

Read the official information about the Arizona Department of Revenue School Tax Credit. You'll find the links to the lists of eligible schools there.
