ATTENTION ALL ARIZONA TAXPAYERS:

The Arizona state legislature increased the allowable donations to private school foundations, public and charter schools. You may donate up to $1,000.00 to a private school for married couples filing a joint return. Single filers may donate up to $500.00 as they did before. You may also make a $400.00 donation to a public school for a dollar for dollar tax credit on your Arizona State Taxes and a tax deduction on your federal return.

Your donation would provide scholarships to qualified private schools, in our case, to Primavera or the Orme School. We have joined in partnership with Orme to create this private school foundation. The foundation is a separate organization whose board allocates at least 90% of its annual revenue to scholarships at both Primavera and Orme School. The Orme Primavera Schools Foundation is ready to receive donations from Arizona taxpayers for the current, 2006 tax year. Donations must be received by December 31, 2006 to be credited to your 2006 Arizona tax return.

Any Arizona state taxpayer filing an Arizona tax return can donate to the Orme Primavera Schools Foundation. Grandparents, friends, and relatives (residing in Arizona) can all help! Begin to share this information with others that you know and encourage people to donate. Of course we hope that you will consider making a yearly donation to the private school foundation. It's an opportunity for everyone involved to benefit greatly: the donors receive a $1,000.00 dollar for dollar tax credit on the Arizona tax return and a $1,000.00 tax deduction on the federal tax return and can support education directly instead of giving their money to the state legislature. The schools benefit by receiving tax money directly to fund scholarships and help kids! And best of all, the kids receive direct assistance to attend the private school of their choice! This is very exciting! You have the opportunity to designate which school you would like your donation to benefit, in this case, Primavera School!

Thank you for the opportunity to share this exciting news. Please plan now to include Primavera in your tax planning. For additional information, please don't hesitate to contact me, Carol Darrow, at 928-445-5382 or e-mail me at primaveraschool@qwest.net
