Tax Credit Opportunity

As many of you know Micah just turned 5 years old in April.  We would love to provide Micah with an amazing Christian education.  As with any private school, tuition is expensive.  We would love to have everyone support us in this decision.  With your help, the Tuition Tax Credit can make a Christian education for Micah possible.  We will try NCS for kindergarten and determine if that school is the best fit for him in the following years.  We looked into other schools, but the waiting list is too long or the school's philosophy is not in line with ours.

It is now time for us to be thinking about sending Micah to school!  We would love to send him to NCS.

We are not asking for a donation; we are asking you to re-direct your state income taxes to benefit Micah's education.  We need your help!! We are looking for 12 families to help us!  This is a dollar-for-dollar credit against your Arizona income taxes.  Not only would your Arizona tax money go towards Micah's tuition, but it would also be counted as a charitable tax donation towards your federal taxes as well! Would you consider "taking the credit" for Micah?

Here is a brief 2 min video from a different AZ tuition tax organization that explains the process:

How can I "Take the Credit?"
