Tax Credit Scholarships for Valley Lutheran High School!
Dear Friends of Valley Lutheran High School,
Welcome to Valley Lutheran High School in Phoenix, AZ, where we nurture academic excellence, spiritual growth, and moral character through Christ's teachings. Our close-knit community empowers students to become compassionate leaders, stewards of God's creation, and beacons of hope. We aim to foster a lifelong love for learning and a strong commitment to Christian values, preparing students to shine as lights unto others.
We invited you to support Valley Lutheran High School students with your tax dollars at no net cost to you or your business . Your tax credit contribution will have a huge impact on families ability to send their precious children to a school that best meets each child's unique needs.
The net cost to you is ZERO, yet it's invaluable to our students! A win-win! Your full contribution comes back to you as a tax credit, reducing your Arizona tax dollar-for-dollar, when you contribute to STO4KIDZ. Consequently, your contribution results in tuition scholarships to our students with verified financial need.
Since this provides a dollar-for-dollar tax credit against your state tax obligations, it won't affect your finances or other charitable donations. In essence, the cost to you and/or your company is zero, but it means the world to a child. Thank you for your consideration.
