     The Education Tax Credit

  Give Phoenix schools a little credit

Everyone knows our schools need more resources. Many extra-curricular programs that once helped produce a well-rounded education have been trimmed or eliminated—field trips, after-school classes, sports, arts, music. Many teachers pay for classroom extras out of their own pockets.

Now, thanks to a state law, you can send the Phoenix school of your choice up to $400 if you are married filing jointly and $200 if you file as an individual. And it most likely won’t cost you anything, because it will come right off the top of your state income taxes.

Donations can be made online using most of the school district links below, while others require a mailed form. To find where school districts in Phoenix are located, visit the Education in Phoenix page.

To help you with your research, the Youth and Education Programs Office has compiled the following table from the most recent available information from the Arizona Department of Education and the Arizona Department of Revenue.

If a link to the school district has been disabled, visit the school districts page to find a current phone number.
