Tax Credits

Did you know that you can donate to Notre Dame Preparatory at NO cost to you through the Arizona Tax Credit?

Arizona law (ARS 43-1089) allows you, as a tax payer, to direct your Arizona state tax liability to School Tuition Organizations (STOs) such as Catholic Education Arizona, Arizona Tuition Connection and the Institute for Better Education. This is a dollar for dollar tax credit against what you owe the state of Arizona. The funds are used exclusively for the cost of tuition at private schools which includes Notre Dame Prep. Many of our students benefit from scholarships provided by STOs.

You can redirect any portion of your state tax liability (the amount that the state collects from you also referred to as income taxes) up to these maximum amounts:

For 2023 (1/1/23 through 4/15/24)

• $1,307 for single filers
• $2609 for married filers

How and when is this done? For Arizona state tax credit your donation may be made up until tax day. For donations made between Jan. 1 and tax day, the donor chooses the tax year they wish to claim the credit for (prior tax year or current tax year).

It's easy to donate. Most STOs take donations online. For more information ask your tax professional or call our finance office at (480) 634-8282.  

If every Catholic family maximized their tax credit to Diocesan schools, Catholic Education would be affordable to anyone who wants it in the state of Arizona. 

It costs you nothing, but means the world to our students!
