Support the Santan Jr. High School Band in Chandler and receive a tax credit!

Why not tell the State of Arizona exactly where to spend your tax dollars?  Arizona offers taxpayers an opportunity to donate toward Arizona Public Schools extracurricular activities and receive a dollar for dollar tax credit for that donation. That means if you make a donation, you will get every penny of it back on your tax return!

How much can you donate?  As much as you want of course...BUT if you would like the dollar for dollar tax credit there is a cap on that credit donation.  Taxpayers who are "married filing jointly" can donate up to $400.00 per calendar year.  For those filing  "Single", "Head of Household" or "Married, filing separately", a $200.00 donation per calendar year can be made.

If you'd  like to take advantage of this tax savings, and you're looking for a worthy extracurricular activity to donate to, please consider the Santan Band at Santan Jr. High in Chandler.  Band Director, Jeremy Kane says the contributions are an important part of their music program and funds will be used to help buy instruments and music along with many other musical education needs.  If you're wondering about the importance of band programs in our schools, Just check this out 10-reasons-to-stay-in-band.

Contributions eligible for tax credit are donated directly to schools, not to the state or school district.
