The Power of Corporate Tax Credits
Catholic Education Arizona accept Az corporate tax credits under Arizona laws (ARS 43-1183 and 43-1184) to provide scholarships for underserved students. Businesses, that file as C- or S-Corps, and insurance companies, can redirect 100% of their state tax liability to CEA, funding tuition scholarships for low-income, disabled, or foster care students. This isn’t just about tax payment options—it’s about opportunity. Corporate tax credits allow businesses to invest in children who might otherwise lack access to the quality education our schools provide, which result in a 99% graduation rate. Catholic Education Arizona partners with companies to make this possible, and you can learn more about the program at the Arizona Department of Revenue’s tax credit page.
