WAYS TO GIVE

There are many ways to support the students and mission of Herencia Guadalupana Lab Schools. Your gift is tax deductible as a charitable contribution, and in some cases, your gift may be a tax credit to your Arizona income tax liability. Tax deductible opportunities for giving may support a student, enhance a school initiative, or honor a loved one.

Scholarship Program

Our Goal is to raise $50,000 to fund 10 preschooler scholarships for a calendar year.  Scholarships will cover tuition for one year. 

• Selecting Scholarship Recipients

  • Selection will include a family budgeting session, home visit, interviews with parents and proof of financial situation.  Consistent attendance will be required including participation in school functions like conferences, programs, workshops and field trips.

• Family Contribution 

  • A nominal weekly financial contribution from the family of each recipient will be required, with the amount determined by the specific financial circumstances. This contribution promotes participation and commitment, and provides dignity to the family supporting their child’s education.

Tax Benefits

Federal Tax Deduction

Herencia is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and as a result donations can be applied as deductions to federal taxable income.  Typically, the same donation can be applied toward the state tax credit and as a federal tax deduction. 

Arizona Qualifying Charitble Organization / Tax Credit

A majority of children served by Herencia live in poverty, and as a result we have been designated a Qualifying Charitable Organization by the state of Arizona.  As a Qualifying Charitable Organization, donations to Herencia can be applied as an individual state income tax credit. ​

• ​Maximum credit is $400 for single, $800 for married taxpayers.

• This tax credit is separate from, and can be applied in addition to, public or private school tax credits.
