Arizona Episcopal Schools Foundation

The mission of the Arizona Episcopal Schools Foundation (AESF) is to provide funding to support faith-based private school educational opportunities to diverse families throughout Arizona and to facilitate academic, social, and spiritual development through varied accountable means.

TUITION TAX CREDITE - Arizona law (A.R.S. AZ 43-1089) provides for a credit of up to $1,000 against state income tax obligations to any Arizona taxpayer for payments made to a qualified School Tuition Organization (STO).

The Arizona Episcopal Schools Foundation is a qualified School Tuition Organization and a non-profit Arizona corporation, which is exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The law states 90% of the STO’s funds go directly to qualified students attending member schools. The Foundation gives 90-94% of its funds to qualified students.

The maximum for married couples filing jointly is $1,000. Single or head of household is $500. A taxpayer(s) can contribute to both the private school tax credit and the public school tax credit.

The Foundation does not accept funds designated for a particular child.

The Foundation qualifies for employer matching funds programs. Please double your contribution and check with your employer!
