Arizona School Tax Credit

Control where your tax dollars go!
Your contribution makes a difference!

If you hold Arizona income tax liability, you can make an Arizona Tax Credit contribution to Cambridge Academy. Through the AZ Public School Tax Credit, you may donate up to $200 (individual) or $400 (married, filing jointly) and receive a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the taxes you owe the state.

Donations made to Cambridge Academy have a high impact and help offset the cost of extracurricular activities, field trips, enrichment programs, classroom supplies, and so much more!

If every family part of this incredible Coyote Pack were to take advantage of this tax benefit, it would have profound effects on our school and our mission toward providing our students with a world-class education. If you have already given, encourage friends and relatives to participate! Please read through the Tax Credit FAQs below for additional information, and never hesitate to contact the front office for help.
