ASU Prep AcademySouth Phoenix K-6Newsletter January 3, 2023

At ASU Preparatory Academy, we believe that if we fill our students' vision buckets to the top, their achievements will overflow for years to come. With 2023 fast approaching, our students are making New Year's resolutions to shine bright in the spring semester. In donating to our tax credit campaign, you can help fill their buckets with brand-new learning possibilities that will make those resolutions a reality.


All end-of-year giving contributions will support academic success, after school clubs, arts and culture, field experiences, athletics, and other necessities to benefit our students.


Since ASU Prep is a non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) tax exempt status in the United States, your gift can qualify as tax-deductible to the extend allowed by state law. Or if you live in Arizona, you may qualify for a dollar-for-dollar tax credit* (up to $200 if filing single, $400 if filing jointly) when you make a financial donation to ASU Prep.


We wish you a very happy new year! Sun Devils positively impact their communities, and foster a college-going environment. With help from generous contributors like you, our students can thrive. Visit our website or click the button below to support our Sun Devils!


*Please consult a qualified tax adviser to discuss your tax credit eligibility or questions*
