Arizona’s private education tax credit empowers individuals and corporations to choose what their tax dollars support and greatly impact Catholic schools. Rather than writing a check to the state of Arizona, you can be one of many to direct your tax credits to the General Fund (serving schools with highest need) or the school(s) of your choice.
Family Testimonial: How a Dual-Working Family Prioritized Catholic Education
With three daughters in Phoenix Catholic schools, the Cruz-Patino family are firm believers in the importance of Catholic education. “We are a dual-working family. However, our finances do not allow us to save enough money to pay for the full tuition costs,” they said. The family tells contributors, “We thank you. Without your financial support, we would not be able to have our daughters in private Catholic schools.”
Alumni Testimonial: “I wouldn’t be where I am today without the foundation of my Catholic education”
“Catholic Education Arizona is an incredible organization that gives families the opportunity to provide their children with a high-quality Catholic education, even when it might otherwise be out of reach. As a family, we are proud and grateful to donate regularly to CEA.”
Alumni Testimonial: Lara Velasquez
Attending Catholic school has given me the most incredible opportunities to grow as a student, leader, and disciple of Christ. I am beyond grateful for this community and their endless support. Every day is a new opportunity to challenge myself to reach my fullest God-given potential. While I am extremely grateful to be recognized as Valedictorian of NDP’s Class of 2024 among other academic achievements, my goal has always been to continue growing and taking the steps towards becoming who God intended me to be. My education has always been grounded in my faith, and my identity as a disciple is an indispensable part of who I am today.
