All About Tax Credits
Offset club fees through Tax Credit Donations!
Payments made through a tax credit donation are credited dollar-for-dollar on your state income tax return.
What are Tax Credits?
Arizona state law allows taxpayers to contribute to extracurricular school activities and receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit. By donating to our club, you directly support students’ participation in our valuable programs, while benefiting from a tax credit. Team dues are critical to pay for tournament registration fee, team dinners, event coaches, transportation and much more. Individuals can contribute up to $200, and couples filing jointly can donate up to $400. Every donation makes a difference! For further information on Tax Credit uses click here.​
​
Tax Credits act to reduce costs for students and can be donated by anyone, from parents to close relatives to family friends.​

Beyond our official accolades, your support helps provide intense training in acting, debate, research and rhetoric, public speaking, as well as interpersonal communication and teamwork skills. Our students gain valuable skills needed for high school, college, and the professional world.
TSTDC students have been valedictorians, Flinn scholars, and Ivy League graduates. Alumni have gone on to work as professional actors, doctors, lawyers, and for the U.S. government at home and abroad.
