How Much Can I Donate?
Maximums
Individual donors can take advantage of two different tax credits: the Original Tax Credit and the Overflow (Switcher) Tax Credit. When giving to School Choice Arizona, donors can give up to $1,570/$787 (married/single) toward the Original Tax Credit. Any donation above this amount will then go toward the Overflow Tax Credit, up to a maximum of an additional $1,561/$784 (married/single).
When you donate through School Choice Arizona’s Donor Portal, it automatically totals the amounts for Original and Overflow so you don't have to.
Recommendations
When you make a donation, you can identify a school or recommend a student!
Please note that scholarship awards are subject to the absolute discretion of School Choice Arizona. Student recommendations made by donors are considered by our Selection Committees and help in the award decision process. Scholarships are awarded without regard to the student’s race, color, disability, family status, or national origin. School Choice Arizona awards 92% of donated funds as scholarships to K-12 students attending Private Schools in Arizona.
Donation Deadline
Individual donors may donate prior to filing their taxes, but no later than Tax Day (whichever comes first), and claim the credit for the previous year’s taxes. There are no extensions, so donations must be postmarked or entered online no later than midnight on Tax Day.
