Gadsden Elementary School District #32 Home

Steps in Donating:

1. What is it?

Arizona Law (A.R.S. 43-1089.01) allows taxpayers to receive a tax credit of up to $200 for a single individual or a head of household and $400 for a married couple filing a joint return for donations that benefit students in our public school. That's not just a deduction, it's a tax credit-it reduces what you owe in the state taxes, dollar -for-dollar.

 

2. Who can benefit from this law?

All Arizona tax payers are eligible: you do not have to have children within the school district to benefit from this law. You can now donate through April 15 each year and claim your donation on the previous or current tax year.

 

3. What qualifies?

By law, only donations to extracurricular activities, such as tutoring, athletics, band, orchestra, field trips, special programs and more qualify for the tax credit. Donations must be made to the school district, but directly towards a specific activity at a specific school.

 

4. How do I donate?

To make a donations in person or by mail: simply complete and print the form: Tax Credit Donation Form. You may also contact the District Business Office to obtain the form. Your contribution can be delivered in person or mailed, along with your check, to Gadsden Elementary School District #32. 

We post notices of the Gadsden ESD #32 board meetings at the window in our district offices located at 1350 E. Cesar Chavez Blvd. San Luis, AZ 85349. You'll also find notifications on the Governing Board Agendas page, and we also send them to the local media via email. The public may access current and previous board meeting agendas in our Governing Board page. We will post the agendas 24 hours prior to meetings, the board and administration welcome any public comment and participation. Members of the public are invited and welcomed to attend our monthly board meetings. Any individual may comment on any listed agenda item by completing a request form available at each meeting. The board is subject to Arizona's Open Meeting Law, which limits discussion to those subjects included on the agenda for each meeting.
