Support DCES with a 2014 Tax Credit

Making a contribution to receive an Arizona public education tax credit is simple. You can get a tax credit up to $200 for an individual or $400 per married couple. Donations must be received by December 31 to receive the tax credit for current year. For additional information, call (602) 449-2049.

What is a tax credit?

A tax credit is not a tax deduction. A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the actual tax owed. For example, if you owe $900 in state income taxes and you donate $400 to a public school for extracurricular activities, you may subtract the $400 from your tax bill and pay the state just $500.

To make your donation online click here.

Outstanding Apex Fun Run Pledges

We still have Apex Fun Run pledges outstanding. Please remember this is our only major fundraiser and brings in the funds that the PTO uses to sponsor school events, provide school materials, assists with fields trips, etc.

A large percentage of the funds brought in by Apex go directly to the PTO - much more than other kinds of fundraisers. We need to meet our collection goals to continue doing the things we do - and to ensure we can work with Apex again next year!
