Thanksgiving: A Time to Be Grateful 

As Thanksgiving approaches, we are reminded of the countless blessings that surround us — family, faith, community, and the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others. This special holiday, rooted in gratitude and tradition, invites us to pause, reflect, and give thanks for all that we’ve been given. 

At Catholic Education Arizona, we are deeply grateful for the support of our donors, corporate partners, and schools who share our mission. Together, since 1998, we’ve provided more than 161,000 scholarships — empowering students and families with access to quality, faith-based education. Yet, our work continues. Every child deserves the chance to attend the school that best meets their needs, regardless of financial circumstance. 

As we enter this season of giving, there’s still $40 million remaining in the Low-Income Corporate Tax Credit. If your company files as an S or C Corporation, or pays Arizona Insurance Premium Tax, you can direct your tax liability to change lives — at no net cost. With a 99% graduation rate, the return on your investment is extraordinary! 

For individuals, our Tax Credit Renewal Campaigns are now underway. Please watch for your renewal letter, postcard, or email — or visit www.ceaz.org to give online. You may designate your contribution to the General Scholarship Fund (which serves schools with unmet need) or choose the school(s) closest to your heart. 

This Thanksgiving, we give thanks for you — our partners in mission — whose generosity transforms lives and strengthens the future of Catholic education in Arizona. 

With heartfelt gratitude, I wish you and your loved ones a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving.
