Arizona business leaders can join Grand Canyon University, Cigna, Earnhardt Automotive, Lumen, Shea Homes, and APS in impacting our community by redirecting their Corporate State Income Tax to fund scholarships for underserved children. By redirecting your tax liability to Catholic Education Arizona, your contribution will create future leaders and leave a lasting impact on the lives of children in Arizona.

Jeff McQueen, President of Shea Homes shared, “You pay the money either way, here it goes to a cause you’re passionate about and you know is going to make a tangible difference in the community,”

Think about it as investing and this is your ROI:

  • Catholic High School Graduation rate is 99.4%
  • Matriculation rate is 97% to higher education, trade school or military
  • Serving the Community – thousands of hours

Here is how it works. The AZ Corporate Low Income Tax Credit and the AZ Corporate Disabled Displaced Tax Credit are 100% dollar-for-dollar credits that turn your tax liability into scholarships for underserved children.
