Arizona Tax Credit

School tax credits are a win-win for students and taxpayers. Everyone has the opportunity to make a tax credit contribution to local schools — even those without children. Making a donation is easy: Donate online, keep your receipt and claim your tax credit when you file. Every dollar reduces your tax liability.

Through the Arizona tax credit program (ARS 43-1089.01), taxpayers can donate up to $200 to help fund extracurricular activities and receive every dollar back in the form of a tax credit. Taxpayers can contribute up to $200 for an individual and $400 for a married couple.

When you give using the link below, you are giving directly to the Leading Edge Academy sports program. Leading Edge is generous and allows Life Community to use their gym for community building events such as basketball games, volleyball games, entertainment for our children and enhances our Parents Night Out program.
