Arizona Tax Credit Program

Dear Friends,

As an Arizona taxpayer you can make a meaningful impact on the students at BASIS Phoenix Public Charter School by donating to the school through the Arizona Tax Credit Program. This program allows you to contribute up to $200 per single taxpayer, or $400 per household filing jointly, to an Arizona school of your choosing. The most incredible part of this program is that you receive a dollar-for-dollar reduction in your tax liability on your Arizona State tax return. So, you can support the BASIS Phoenix Mountain Bike Team with up to a $400 donation for FREE, the out-of-pocket cost to you is nothing! Keep reading to learn more about how to take advantage of this special tax credit program.

YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF THE PROGRAM MAKES A DIFFERENCE:

Without your generous support the Mountain Bike Team would not exist. Your contributions make it possible to offer this program to the students of BASIS Phoenix.

In order for a student to participate in this program they need the appropriate equipment. A rider requires a mountain bike along with all the necessary maintenance to keep their bike running. Students also must pay for team uniforms, helmets, trainers, indoor training fees, heart rate monitors, nutrition, transportation, lodging, race fees, insurance, and other safety equipment and gear. As you can see, the cost of participating in this one-of-a-kind experience is substantial.

The growth and development both mentally and physically for each student is worth the investment. With your support we can lower the expenses for each rider and get more students involved. Please make a contribution to support the BASIS Phoenix Mountain Bike Team and help give more students access to this life changing athletic program.

MORE ABOUT THE ARIZONA TAX CREDIT PROGRAM:

• How does the Arizona Tax Credit Program work?

Donors can contribute the maximum amount allowed, which is $200 per single taxpayer or $400 per household to the school of their choice. You are allowed to direct the funds to support a specific program within the school (i.e. Mountain Bike Team) by indicating the specific program you would like your donation to support at the time of your donation.

• What if I don’t have a child in an Arizona school?

You do not need to have a student in an Arizona school to take advantage of the Arizona School Tax Credit Program. Any Arizona taxpayer can participate in the Arizona School Tax Credit Program.
