Invest in Arizona’s students by investing in their future by contributing to the private school state tax credit. Your decision to invest in our foundation over the last 12 years has provided over 700 scholarship awards for deserving Arizona students. Thank you for your past support and current consideration as a donor to the Orme Primavera Schools Foundation!
Last year, the Orme-Primavera Schools Foundation raised $197,000 from 270 Arizona taxpayers. Those funds were distributed to 34 students at Primavera School in Prescott and to 17 students at the Orme School in Mayer. Your participation in this unique opportunity to support private education directly in Arizona through the state tax credit program is deeply appreciated and shows your belief in providing an exceptional education to deserving students in our state.
Grandparents, parents, alumni, friends, and relatives residing in Arizona can all participate and help in this very worthy endeavor. A married couple filing a joint return may give up to $1,000 to a qualified student tuition organization and receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit from the State of Arizona. Single taxpayers may give up to $500.00. Your support of the Orme –Primavera Schools Foundation means that more Arizona students will have the opportunity to experience the many things that make a Primavera School and an Orme School education so exceptional.
The state law requires that our foundation have a 501 (c)(3) designation and that 90% of all the revenues will be paid out in scholarships. The law also states that our foundation may not limit the availability of the scholarships to students of one school. That is why you may designate your preference for a majority of your contribution to either Primavera School or to the Orme School. You may also choose to have the majority of your contribution be split equally between the two schools.
A school tuition organization cannot award, restrict, or reserve scholarships solely on the basis of donor recommendation. A taxpayer may not claim a tax credit if the taxpayer agrees to swap donations with another taxpayer to benefit either taxpayer’s own dependent.
Please share this information with others you know that might consider giving to this very worthwhile organization while receiving a dollar-for-dollar tax credit in the process! You decide where your tax dollars will be spent and know that you have invested well in the future of education! Thank you for your support.
Please ensure that your donation is made by April 15, 2012 for a 2011 tax credit.
