Arizona Tax Credits

Did you know you can support extracurricular activities in Arizona schools and receive a tax credit at the same time? Since 1998, Arizona taxpayers have the opportunity to receive a tax credit when they donate to an Arizona public school for support of extracurricular activities.

Arizona allows state income taxpayers to receive a tax credit of up to $400 ($200 for single filers and $400 for joint filers) for contributions made to public schools to support extracurricular activities. This tax credit is available to all taxpayers whether or not they have children in the public schools.

The kind of programs you can help fund range from sports and band fees to lab sciences and art projects. Yuma School District One is committed to maintaining these activities for the enjoyment and enrichment of our students. Unfortunately, our funding is not sufficient to offset all of the associated costs. As a result, these programs must depend on fees from students. And that's where you can help.

In 2026, supporters generously donated to District One Schools: $43,024

Contributions by school were:
Alice Byrne Elementary $1,600

We invite you to support the students at any of our District One schools through the Arizona Tax Credit program. You do not have to have children in the schools to participate. The donation is not a deduction—it is a dollar for dollar tax credit. If you are married and file jointly, you may contribute up to $400. Otherwise, the maximum donation is $200.

When you make an Arizona Tax Credit donation to District One, everyone wins. Our schools receive the money for extracurricular activities, and you receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit (not a deduction).
