PHOENIX, March 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Arizona taxpayers can choose how their state tax dollars are used with the Arizona Private Education Tax Credit and Corporate Tax Credits. Arizona taxpayers can redirect their state tax liability to a certified School Tuition Organization, such as Catholic Education Arizona, to fund K-12 tuition scholarships for underserved students.

Nancy Padberg, MBA, President and CEO of Catholic Education Arizona, said, “We are fortunate to have school choice legislation in Arizona. In addition to impacting student’s lives academically and spiritually, we are strengthening families and building our future workforce.” 
When taxpayers redirect their Arizona taxes through tax credits, they know exactly what their tax dollars support. Tax credit contributions to Catholic Education Arizona are exclusively used to fund tuition scholarships for K-12 students attending Diocese of Phoenix Catholic schools. Businesses can support quality education for the underserved through the Arizona Low-Income and Disabled/Displaced Corporate Tax Credits. To learn more, visit CEAZ.org. 
“It’s literally that easy, you pay the money either way,” remarked Jeff McQueen, President and Co-Founder of Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Communities. “Here [at Catholic Education Arizona], it goes to a cause you’re passionate about and know is going to make a tangible difference in the community.”
Individuals and Corporations continue to support Catholic Education Arizona and the Diocese of Phoenix Catholic Schools because of their impressive results:

Catholic Education Arizona is an IRS 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization and has never accepted gifts designated for individuals. Per state law, 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.
