Change a Child’s Life Today with the Non-Tax Credit Changing Lives Division

Did you know that thousands of families in Arizona desire a quality Catholic education for their children but cannot afford the tuition? Catholic Education Arizona has been at the forefront of providing scholarships for quality education to underserved children in the Diocese of Phoenix since 1998. These scholarships are created by people like you, who choose to give their AZ Individual or Corporate tax credit, and now, those who give beyond with a charitable donation or planned gift with the NEW non-tax credit Changing Lives Division.

What is the Non-Tax Credit Changing Lives Division?

Even with the scholarship, many families struggle to cover the costs of the remaining tuition. When we saw families that receive the scholarships continue to struggle with school expenses – or withdraw entirely- Catholic Education Arizona created the non-tax credit Changing Lives Division. This new division accepts charitable donations and planned gifts to fund unmet need, ensuring all children desiring a Catholic education can receive one, regardless of their financial means.

Nancy Padberg, MBA, President and CEO emphasized the importance of the Changing Lives Division, added, “Community leaders looking to give beyond their tax credit contribution can do so with donations or planned gifts. This can be cash, bequests, stock, and more”.

You can choose how your charitable donation changes lives. Donations to the Education Growth Fund provide scholarship assistance to students in school or applying today and in need of a scholarship. Donations may also be directed to the Endowment ensuring scholarship assistance is available for future generations.

“You have no idea how much stress you take off families every year!” said the Gatica family. “Without this scholarship, I wouldn’t be able to afford a Catholic Education for my family”, they said. The Gatica family is just one of thousands impacted by the scholarships.
