After careful consideration, it is with mixed emotions and a heart of gratitude that we inform you of our plans to close Arizona Tax Credit by the end of November 2025. God has been so gracious in our mission and it has been our privilege and joy to work with you over the past 12 years, providing tuition assistance to students enrolled in private education. Thank you for partnering with us and giving families the opportunity to have a choice in the school that best works for their child.

As we begin the decertification process, we encourage our schools, families and donors to partner with IBE (Institute For Better Education). IBE is an Arizona Certified School Tuition Organization that has been in existence since 1998. Their goals, objectives and commitment to honoring God while providing tuition assistance through the Arizona State Private School Tax Credit Programs completely aligns with our heart, mission and all that we have accomplished over the past 12 years. Here is a message from their Executive Director, Kimberly Kirschner:

Welcome to the IBE Family!  For those of you who do not know me, my name is Kim Kirschner and our amazing team at IBE cannot wait to continue helping you on your tax credit journey.  Arizona Tax Credit is a wonderful STO and while I know you are sad to see them go,  you have my whole-hearted assurances that IBE only exists to make sure school choice funding options are available to ALL!  I look forward to working together and please feel free to reach out to me personally as kim@ibescholarships.org. 

Arizona Tax Credit

an Arizona School Tuition Organization

Children are the future, and without great minds, we cannot expect great things. Private education is more than just an alternative to public school, it is a specialized learning environment where children can grow and thrive, in their own special way. Donate today and receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on your Arizona taxes. Be the reason a child becomes inspired.

Arizona Tax Credit, an Arizona School Tuition Organization, was dreamed up by founders, Robyn Brown and Janet Oitzman, who carry years of experience working with other local STOs and non-profits. Developed under the guidelines provided in the Arizona Private School Tuition Tax Credit Law of 1997, Arizona Tax Credit partners with donors to provide millions in tuition scholarship assistance for thousands of students in grades K-12 attending private schools throughout the state.

Along with helping children achieve their best, charitable individuals, families, and corporations will also receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for their state income tax from donations. Arizona taxpayers are also allowed to re-direct the state income taxes that they owe into scholarships.

A little more about our work:

• Arizona Tax Credit is a qualified School Tuition Organization (STO) pursuant to the Arizona Private School Tuition Tax Credit Law (A.R.S. 43-1089).
• Donations to Arizona Tax Credit qualify for a dollar-for-dollar credit on your Arizona state income taxes up to annual limits allowed by law or the actual tax liability, whichever is less.
• Arizona Tax Credit allocates 90% or more of all tax credit donation revenue toward student scholarships.
• Scholarships are awarded without regard to the student’s race, color, handicap, familial status or national origin.
• The final decision to award any scholarship is subject to the absolute discretion of Arizona Tax Credit.
• Arizona Tax Credit is a tax exempt organization pursuant to federal law, Section 501 (c) (3) Federal I.D. number 46-1517816.
