Our Impact
Science for All utilizes educational outreach through the AZ SciTech Festival programs that run statewide, as well as the innovative Chief Science Officers (CSO) program to help youth develop technical and practical thinking skills through STEM events, leadership capabilities through mentorships and integrated community action plans, and employability through job training programs and internships.
We are serving nearly 100 Arizona schools with low-income student populations. With over 1,300 such schools throughout the state, there is currently a large, unmet need to address.

FAQs:
QCOs & AZ Tax Credit
The Arizona state income tax credit that may be available to you when you donate to Science For All is referred to as the Qualifying Charitable Organizations Tax Credit (formerly known as the Working Poor Tax Credit).
Yes, the Qualifying Charitable Organizations Tax Credit is separate from, and does not compete with, the Public School Tax Credit or the Private School Tax Credit. Therefore, donations to both your child’s school and to JA may entitle you to multiple Arizona tax credits.
Individuals. Donations from corporations are not eligible.
Yes. The maximum Qualifying Charitable Organizations Tax Credit per year is: (i) $400 for taxpayers filing as “single,” “head of household,” or “married filing separate,” and (ii) $800 for taxpayers filing as “married filing joint.”
A tax credit is a credit that a taxpayer receives as a dollar-for-dollar reduction of the taxpayer’s income tax liability. A tax deduction is a deduction against a taxpayer’s taxable income, reducing income that would otherwise be taxable, with the result being that the taxpayer generally pays less tax.
To the extent you are eligible to do so, a donation to Science For All may result in both (i) an Arizona state income tax credit, reported on your Arizona income tax return, and (ii) a Federal income tax deduction, reported on your Federal income tax return. You cannot claim both a deduction and a credit for the same charitable donation on your Arizona tax return.
No, taxpayers do not have to itemize deductions on their Arizona income tax return to claim the Qualifying Charitable Organizations Tax Credit.
Yes, we will provide you with a receipt of your contributions to Science For All.
