Arizona School Tax Credit

Control where your tax dollars go!
Your contribution makes a difference!

If you hold Arizona income tax liability, you can make an Arizona Tax Credit contribution to Cambridge Academy. Through the AZ Public School Tax Credit, you may donate up to $200 (individual) or $400 (married, filing jointly) and receive a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the taxes you owe the state.

Donations made to Cambridge Academy have a high impact and help offset the cost of extracurricular activities, field trips, enrichment programs, classroom supplies, and so much more!

If every family part of this incredible Coyote Pack were to take advantage of this tax benefit, it would have profound effects on our school and our mission toward providing our students with a world-class education. If you have already given, encourage friends and relatives to participate!

    How It Works

    If you have an Arizona income tax liability, you can contribute to Cambridge Academy through the AZ Public School Tax Credit. As an individual, you can contribute up to $200 or up to $400 if you are married and filing jointly. This contribution is not just a donation but a dollar-for-dollar tax credit - reducing the amount you owe in state taxes by the same amount as your contribution.

  • Beyond Just a Donation

    While a tax credit contribution is impactful, it differs from a general donation. If you want to make a broader, unrestricted donation to support our wide range of educational and extracurricular programs, please [click here] for more options.
