Because of constant state budget cuts we are always short of money for special programs and technology. Your tax credit donation makes a huge difference for Robins. But we also need your time if you can spare it. There are always many tasks that staff and teachers need help with. Get involved with the PTO, come to meetings so you know what's going on around your child's school. Come help out at events; it's a great way to make new friends and connect with other parents. Come to Site Council meetings or speak to your parent representative to give input about Robins' curriculum and direction in the future. It's all up to you!

If you're able to contribute money to the school you can donate to the PTO, or directly to Robins Gifts and Donations fund, or through a Tax Credit donation. Robins PTO is a 501c3 charitable organization, and if your tax adviser lets you, you may be able to take a deduction on your taxes for any contribution you make. Any amount will be a help in planning for each years' services.

Please mail a check made out to Robins PTO to the school at 3939 North Magnetite, Tucson, Arizona 85745, Attention Treasurer.

Or you can contribute to Robins through Tax Creditable donations to TUSD. You can start giving now, and give a little each month or all of it in a lump sum through the TUSD Web site.

How do I direct my tax dollars directly to Robins so that my child benefits?

You make an Arizona Tax Credit Donation. What is that?

Arizona State Tax Credit donations work very much like giving the public school of your choice a loan until tax time. Most families filing jointly can give Robins K-8 a tax credit donation of up to $400, (BUT ANY AMOUNT WILL HELP US!) This amount is returned to the family by the State of Arizona in the form of a State Tax credit to be used towards state taxes they owe when they file their state taxes. TUSD is set up to receive these funds through their web site and you can tell them which school to credit it to. You can also set it up so that you donate a little every month instead of $400 in one lump sum. When you give Robins a State Tax Credit donation you are effectively telling the state of Arizona WHERE to spend your state taxes. Check out: TUSD's Tax Credit page.

The school's Site Council decides how tax credit money is spent. The rules state the funds must be used for extra curricular, non-graded activities and/or equipment for those activities. In the past tax credit has funded our Visual Arts program, a PE teacher, field trips, and the OMA ( Opening Minds through the Arts ) program.
