The Mission of the Catholic Tuition Support Organization (CTSO) is to operate as a qualified school tuition organization according to ARS43-1089. The CTSO accepts contributions from taxpayers, earning them a dollar-for-dollar tax credit, and allocates funds for tuition assistance or scholarships to students in grades K-12.
This means that when you send a contribution (visit www.ctso-tucson.org for the latest rates), the State will provide you a dollar-for-dollar-tax credit. This is a wonderful way for individuals to provide tuition assistance for students in Catholic schools at no additional cost to them. If you chose not to participate in the CTSO, the State will control those same tax dollars instead of you directing the dollars to a Catholic School.
REMEMBER to mark St. Elizabeth Ann Seton as your designated school!
Arizona's new Corporate Tax Credit (SB 1499 and SB1404) allows corporations to direct a contribution to a qualified school tuition organization (STO) and, at the same time, receive a dollar-for-dollar credit on their Arizona state tax liability.
The SEAS Angel Fund is used to support the mission and vision of SEAS School. Specifically, Angel Funds are used for various areas of need to support the SEAS student body (pre-K through 8th grade), staff, and school at large.
What are angel funds used for?
While tuition support organizations are critical to our students, those funds and are restricted to tuition only. Angel funds can be used to help students participate at SEAS in clubs, sports, and enrich their overall school experience.
