Earn Charitable Tax Credits Before Tax Day by Supporting the SCHOA Foundation
The Charitable Tax Credit allows Arizona taxpayers to claim a dollar-for-dollar credit when they make donations to qualifying charities like SCHOA Foundation.
When is the deadline to make a tax credit donation?
TAX DAY! Contributions made to a Qualifying Charitable Organization (like SCHOA Foundation) that are made on or before April 15th may be applied to either the current or the preceding taxable year for your Arizona State tax return.
How much can I contribute?
To receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on your Arizona state taxes, donors can give a maximum of $495 for single taxpayers or heads of household and $987 for couples filing jointly.
What if I donate to another entity? Can I claim this credit, too?
YES! There are four different qualified areas eligible for a tax credit, and you can claim each of them in the same tax year, up to your tax liability from that year.
How will my donation to SCHOA Foundation be used? You may designate your donation to go to the RAMP program helping Sun City Residents, who cannot financially or physically clean their own exterior property. Or you may ask the donation to go towards the repainting of 17 miles walls throughout Sun City (photo below). This will cost you nothing as you will receive that amount back as a credit to your 2024 Arizona taxes. It is always great, in keeping our donated monies in Sun City to help our own community.
If you are not familiar with the AZ Tax Credit program follow the following steps:
Step 1 – Donate to SCHOA Foundation, 10401 W Coggins Dr, Sun City, AZ 85351. (You can donate online here)
Step 2 – File your taxes & claim the credit by using the SCHOA Foundation code 22263.
Your donation will help our Sun City neighbors in need, in cleaning their property back to community standards. Above is an example of a property of over-grown trees and shrubbery with abundant weeds that we recently cleaned for the owner. It was done at no cost to the homeowner and paid by donations from people who wanted to help. The owner, after his property was cleaned and bushes trimmed, was delighted and very appreciative of how it turned out.

On behalf of the many property owners, who have been helped, I want to extend a big THANK YOU for your past and future donations which help many Sun City residents in a time of need.
