Shameless Plug

So here's the deal. Ryan has been attending Northwest Christian School (NCS) and we LOVE it there. Tripp and his sister also went there from elementary up to 12th grade. It's such a great school! It is our heart’s desire to send all of our kids to NCS. Casey is going to attend preschool there next year twice a week. We are not sure if Ryan will return to NCS next year due to the expense. But we still have hope because God is bigger than money. If He wants our kids to attend school at NCS, He will provide the money and it will be for His glory. To help, NCS offers two different tuition assistance programs. One of them is a tax credit through the Arizona Tuition Organization (AZTO). AZTO accepts contributions from Arizona income taxpayers for the benefit of children attending participating schools. Donors may then be eligible to claim a tax credit that reduces dollar for dollar, any income tax owed to the state of Arizona. An individual can give up to $500 and $1000 per married couple. We would receive 93% of the money you donate towards tuition and you get a 100% return at tax time in the form of a credit on your Arizona tax return. If you reside in Arizona, please consider this option! You will get all your money back! Let me know if you are interested and I will send you a form.

The second program is new to NCS and is called the SCRIP Program. Hundreds of national and local retailers have partnered with NCS to offer rebates on the purchase of their gift cards. 100% of your purchase is transferred to a gift card for full buying power, and a predetermined percentage (the rebates range from 1.5% to 15%) of the total is deposited to our tuition account. You can read more about the program here. You can also check out the Shop With Scrip website to see all the retailers here as they are constantly adding more. There are also stores in any category you can imagine.

Our goal is to find people that we can count on to purchase gift cards on a weekly or monthly basis for stores and services you use on a regular basis. (i.e. grocery, gasoline, restaurants, and clothing retailers). One last option to mention, if you don’t see a retailer on the list and they accept American Express, you can purchase an American Express gift card and use it there.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. We appreciate any assistance you can send our way. I just love these programs because you get a 100% return and it will cost nothing to help us. If you are willing to assist and participate in either program or if there is something I need to explain more clearly please comment on this post and I will respond ASAP!
