Frequently Asked Questions

Valiant College Preparatory is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and belongs to School Tuition Organizations (STOs), which raise money on behalf of Valiant College Preparatory and other member schools.

Companies can redirect their taxes to an STO, which distribute funds for scholarships for need based students to attend Valiant College Preparatory. The Corporate Tax Credit program is not about financial donations. In fact, making a contribution to an STO costs a corporation nothing; it is a perfect opportunity for a company to redirect its tax dollars to students instead of paying them to the state.

Currently, C and S Corporations, and LLC’s are eligible to redirect their taxes to STOs, which then allocate scholarships to our students. Qualified companies must be C or S corporations or an LLC that pay taxes in Arizona. Please consult with your tax advisor when filing state taxes.

First, you will know that your company is giving a lifelong gift of education by funding need based scholarships that open doors that might never have been opened. In addition, Valiant College Preparatory works with each corporation to best meet its needs. Some corporations enjoy being named in promotional materials while other corporations wish to remain anonymous; we honor all contributions and contributors, public and anonymous.

Step 1: Fill out the Corporate Tax Credit Application.

Step 2: Valiant College Preparatory’s tax credit team will then complete the AZ Dept. of Revenue (ADOR) approval request form.

Step 3: ADOR approves or denies request within 20 days.

Step 4: Valiant College Preparatory tax credit team must receive the corporation’s contribution within 20 days of approval.

Step 5: Corporation will receive a contribution receipt and can then claim the tax credit.

While the deadline for submission for approval from the AZ Department of Revenue starts on July 1, the state will continue to approve corporate contributions until the cap is met.

Because the cap is typically met quickly, Valiant College Preparatory works with corporations months ahead of time to line up submissions for approval from the AZ Dept. of Revenue starting July 1; it is a first come, first serve basis.

There is no contribution limit per corporation! However, there is a minimum contribution of $5,000 for C and S Corporations and LLC’s.

Yes! These are two separate programs. Receiving an ESA scholarship does NOT prevent your company from contributing state tax dollars to the Corporate Tax Credit program.

Corporate Sponsors

Your company can fund scholarships for students who need them at no out of pocket cost. By making a corporate tax credit contribution, companies can redirect the taxes they would otherwise pay to the state to fund scholarships for Valiant College Preparatory students.

Each year, Valiant College Preparatory provides many scholarships to its students, thanks to the support of individual and corporate tax credit contributions. We are committed to supporting each scholarship student’s entire journey with us; whether they start in 6th or 12th grade.

Annual Fund

The Annual Fund is one of the most important types of giving we benefit from at Valiant College Preparatory. It provides the resources our school needs to bridge the gap between tuition and the actual cost of a Valiant College Preparatory education.

Participation is very important. Any gift makes an impact on student experiences right away. Parent support is a key factor and statistical indicator of the health of a school and for prospective faculty, staff, and families gauging the climate of parent and school support.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Annual Fund is comprised of contributions that bridge the gap between tuition, which covers the large majority of the School’s operating budget, and the full cost of each student’s experience at Valiant College Preparatory. The Annual Fund touches every aspect of our students’ lives in academics and athletics.

Everyone! Each year, we ask current families, faculty & staff, alumni, grandparents, and friends of the School to give a tax-deductible gift to the Annual Fund.

In addition to providing vital financial support to the School, a high participation rate in the Annual Fund signals a strong and supportive community. It is also important in securing outside funding (i.e. foundation grants), our national ranking, and perhaps most importantly, it shows prospective families and faculty that our community is “all in” and invested in Valiant College Preparatory’s mission and success.

We ask every current family to give (one-time or monthly) or pledge their support to the Annual Fund by the end of our fiscal year.

We ask each family to support the Annual Fund with a contribution that is meaningful to your family.

Endowment Funds

Endowments provide a steady and predictable form of support and offer financial stability for the School. The principal of the fund is preserved, and income generated through careful investment can be directed to the School’s budget each year with distributions from the fund supporting a specific purpose or program.

Endowments help keep tuition increases low and make an immediate impact on quality of education.

There are many options to leave a legacy, including:
– Fund a charitable annuity or life income gift.
