Arizona Tax Credit Scholarship Update & New Partnership Announcement

As we look ahead to 2026, we are excited to announce a new partnership with APSTO (Arizona Private School Tuition Organization). APSTO is a well-established and trusted school tuition organization that supports thousands of students annually. They offer a variety of helpful tools for both donors and scholarship recipients, including convenient options such as monthly payroll withholding donations. Beginning in 2026, all Arizona tax credit donations supporting Dynamite Montessori Academy will be processed through APSTO. This partnership allows us to better serve our families and donors while continuing our mission to make Montessori education accessible. Our primary goal for the upcoming year is to support as many Kindergarten and Elementary families as possible with tuition scholarships. TO DONATE: To ensure your tax credit contribution continues to benefit Montessori education, please visit the APSTO website at https://apsto.org and select “Dynamite Montessori Academy” as the recommended school. Donations may also be made by mailing a check and using the PDF donor form located on APSTO’s website. Every contribution, no matter the amount, makes a meaningful difference and is greatly appreciated. Karen is the designated point of contact at APSTO. Families who wish to apply for a scholarship and donors who would like to contribute are encouraged to contact Karen directly at karen@apsto.org with any questions.  If you have any questions or need assistance, we are happy to help. Please feel free to reach out via email to paulie@dynamitema.com. Thank you for your continued support, and best wishes for a wonderful New Year. Dynamite Montessori Foundation

ABOUT US

Dynamite Montessori Foundation, Inc is a nonprofit, Arizona corporation organized under federal IRS code; 501(c)(3) (EIN 86-0982681). The Foundation’s, independent, 3-member board allocates scholarships to qualifying students attending private schools throughout the valley. The Foundation may accept donations of any amount from any U.S. resident. The donation may be eligible as a deduction on federal tax forms. Please check with your accountant.

We accept donations in full or incremental amounts. Forms of payment include checks and all major credit cards. Please email info@dynamitema.com with any questions.

Our Foundation is committed to allocating a minimum of 90% of the annual revenues for scholarships and grants to children attending private schools owned and operated in the State of Arizona.

A school tuition organization cannot award, restrict or reserve scholarships solely on the basis of donor recommendation. A taxpayer may not claim a tax credit if the taxpayer agrees to swap donations with another taxpayer to benefit either taxpayer’s own dependent.
