Tax Credit
How You Can Help – Arizona Tax Credit Opportunity
Would you like to reduce your Arizona state income tax by up to $400 while directly supporting students in Gila Bend Schools? Thanks to Arizona Revised Statute A.R.S. §43-1089.01, you can!
This law allows individuals to contribute up to $200, or married couples filing jointly to contribute up to $400, and receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit — not just a deduction — when supporting approved extracurricular activities in Arizona public schools.
You don’t need to have children in school to participate — any Arizona taxpayer can contribute and claim the credit.
What Can Be Funded?
Your tax credit donation helps fund programs such as:
Athletics and sports teams
Field trips and outdoor education
Clubs and after-school activities
Gifted and enrichment programs
Classroom-based extracurriculars
At Gila Bend Unified School District, these programs provide important enrichment opportunities that support student growth. However, without sufficient funding, many depend on student fees — and that’s where your help makes a difference.
