Educational Enrichment Foundation

About EEF

The Educational Enrichment Foundation (EEF) is an independent non-profit 501c3 organization founded by Tucson's community and business leaders in order to support the students and teachers within Tucson Unified School District schools.

Established in 1983, EEF is the oldest foundation of its kind in Arizona and serves 53,000 TUSD students annually. Through its grants, scholarships, professional development programs, and community activities, EEF actively provides enhanced and enriched learning resources for TUSD students, teachers, and schools, advocates for educational excellence for all children, and ensures access to educational enrichment opportunities within TUSD for financially in-need students.

EEF programs are supported by corporate and non-profit grants, payroll deductions made by hundreds of dedicated TUSD employees, and contributions from the general public.

Assign Your Arizona Tax Credits for the Working Poor to EEF

Do you pay income taxes in Arizona? Do you itemize your deductions?

You can support EEF's programs with an assignment of your Arizona Tax Credits to the Arizona Tax Credit Program for the Working Poor. It's a great way to support programs you believe in AND decrease your tax liability (or increase your return).

PLEASE NOTE: Depending on your anticipated tax liability, assigning AZ Tax Credits for the Working Poor and designating EEF as a recipient DOES NOT AFFECT your equal ability to also assign tax credits to individual public schools and also utilize Arizona's tax credit program for private school tuition. Each type of tax credit designation is considered a separate and distinct program and an Arizona taxpayer filing as an individual can designate credits for up to $200 ($400 for married couples filing jointly) to EACH program in addition to up to $500 per individual in private school tuition tax credits ($1000 for married couples filing jointly). Consult your tax adviser for details.

For more information about how to utilize your Arizona tax credits for the Working Poor and for Public Schools please see the information provided by the Arizona Department of Revenue by clicking on the link below.
