Tax Credit Scholarhip for  Killian Otter!

Otter, Killian- Orme

Dear friends and family,

Killian has been enrolled at The Orme School, a boarding school in Mayer, Arizona, since the beginning of his 8th-grade year. He continues to adjust to his new environment and school guidelines, with steady improvement in his grades each week. Considering the many changes that have impacted our lives recently, we have decided to keep him at The Orme School for the remainder of this school year and plan to apply for his freshman year as well.

In ways to lower his tuition,  we have learn about the Arizona tuition tax credit program that allows taxpayer to choose how their state income tax dollars are used and get a dollar-for-dollar credit.  By contributing to STO4KIDZ, you’ll take the tax credit and Killian will receive a scholarship to lower his tuition. Unlike a charitable deduction, which lowers taxable income, a tax credit directly reduces your state tax liability, which results in a larger refund or less owed taxes when you file.

This will have a huge impact on our ability to send Killian to a great school! We would be so grateful if you consider redirecting a portion of your taxes to help us lower his tuition.

As you can see this is not a donation, but it's income taxes that we all have to pay anyhow, even if you plan to file for an extension. You get 100% of it back as a credit; your Arizona tax liability is reduced dollar-for-dollar when you contribute to a school tuition organization like STO4KIDZ you can take the tax credit as long as you contribute by April 15 of each year, or the designated date set by IRS. 

We appreciate your consideration to support Killian.

On the other hand, if you'd like to make a charitable donation to help lower his tuition,your donation is 100% tax-deductible as STO4KIDZ is also a 501(c)3, non-profit charitable organization.
