Ashton Ranch Students Need Tax Credit Donations



Tax Credit donations can be made at any time during the year, but schools typically encourage parents and community members to donate near the end of the tax year by December 31. This year, more than ever, ARES students could use tax credit donations to support our after school programs. With the current budget problems at the state and local levels, we need financial support for extracurricular programs including after school tutoring.

 For example, if we had more money in the Enrichment/Remedial line item (5505) of our tax credit dollars, we could offer many more students after school tutoring. Our teachers are Highly Qualified and tutoring is basically free as compared to several thousand dollars that private tutoring places charge. 

Please read the information posted on our main website or the district's website concerning how to donate your tax credit dollars to Ashton Ranch. We could use more funds in all areas (School Designate, Athletics, Fine Arts, Enrichment/Remedial). Even if you donate $50 or $100 toward tax credit, your donation would help fund several days of tutoring for 5-10 students. 



Remember, you can donate up to $400 each year and claim a dollar for dollar credit on your Arizona State Income Tax payment.
