Tax Credit
Make an Impact—Support Our Students & Save on Taxes
Tolleson ESD makes it easy for Arizona families to give back—and benefit. Through the state's Public School Tax Credit program, 100% of your donation supports extracurricular and character-building programs, and you may receive up to $200 credit (individual) or $400 (married filing jointly) on your AZ state taxes.
What Is the School Tax Credit?
Under Arizona law (ARS 43‑1089.01), individuals (up to $200) or married couples filing jointly (up to $400) can contribute to public schools and claim it as a dollar-for-dollar tax credit—while deciding exactly where their donation goes.
Your contribution directly supports student activities like:
- Sports and clubs
- Music, art, and cultural programs
- Field trips and enrichment experiences
- STEM projects and leadership programs
Why It Matters
Your gift goes directly where it is needed—on students—with zero administrative fees. Whether it is a $50 boost or the full $400 credit, you are fueling:
-
Student enrichment and exploration
-
Equity—especially in underfunded programs
-
School pride, growth, and opportunity
Plus—you will make an impact that directly empowers students.
