How You Can Help
Family Donation
Join us in making a difference! Benchmark strongly encourages families to participate in our Gap Donation program. Your support covers crucial funding gaps for classroom supplies and fuels our specials programs, ensuring a vibrant and enriching educational journey for every student. In the face of funding challenges impacting teachers and students, we're calling on our staff to do more with less for your child. Despite these obstacles, we prioritize maintaining teacher effectiveness, boosting morale, and preserving our current programs.
- For students in Kindergarten and First Grade, we are asking $100 per child.
- For students in Second Grade, we are asking $125 per child.
- For students in Third-Sixth Grade, we are asking $150 per child.
Tax Credit Donation
• It won’t cost a thing! Taxpayers receive a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit for their Contribution.
• It will help Benchmark offer extracurricular activities that otherwise would be unavailable.
• It will all be spent on student enrichment.
• It will directly benefit Benchmark students.
To participate:
Complete the current State of Arizona Education Tax Credit Contribution Form (available in the front office or on-line) and return it with your payment to the school office.
If you are filing jointly, you may donate $400.00. Those filing as single may make a $200.00 donation.
You will receive a receipt for your contribution.
WOULD A COLLEAGUE, FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER BE INTERESTED IN HELPING?
The Education Tax Credit is available to all Arizona individual taxpayers regardless of whether they have children in a particular school. Do you know someone who may want to enhance a Benchmark student’s education? If so, please invite them to make a contribution, too. Let us know if you would like a packet of information to share with someone who may want to participate.
If you have already submitted your Tax Credit Contribution, we truly appreciate your support of this very important program.
