2014 Elections and School Choice

by Brian July 27, 2014

Az4Education is a non-profit 501c3 organization.   We support families with scholarships, who want a choice in education for their children.   Since 1998, Arizona has made it possible for thousands of families to benefit from tuition assistance because of generous tax credit donations from individuals and corporations.

Important Information and a “New Policy” Change

by admin February 4, 2014

To all AZ4Education Community Members: Another year is over, we have had our review and we are doing well. Again, we are witnessing some extremely strong results in the # of donations and total amount this year! That is great news. We received a communication reminder from the ADOR about recommended donations and the potential for “swapping” or reciprocity. This is when one or more families are providing a recommended donation in a students name for each other students (or within a circle of families). This is against the regulations. Even if you did not intend for that donation to […]

Don’t Forget – You Still Have Time Until April 15th

by admin January 23, 2014

Do you know that you can still get 2013 tax credit for donations made up to April 15th? That’s right! One of the reasons that most people struggle with making donations is the amount of time that in-between the donation and receiving credit.  We are very lucky in Arizona. Our legislature recognized that.  Now can make donations at the beginning of the year just before you file your taxes (and it still counts that donation for the previous year).  This changes the donation deadline to April 15th instead of December 31st, or prior to when you file your taxes, whichever […]

by admin January 8, 2014

Happy New Year to everyone. I hope that everyone had a safe and wonderful holiday season. Another year is officially over. How many of you have made the mistake when writing the year? I have!

When a new year begins, we like to look back and review how the year unfolded.  Looking back on 2013, AZ4Education set some lofty goals to help grow our organization.
