In 2010 a Nutritional Snack Program Tax Credit was established for the food program at Homer Davis Elementary School. Donations to the Nutritional Snack Program Tax Credit are used to pay for food purchased from the Community Food Bank and put in the 96 weekly food packs. Arizona Revised Statutes §43-1089.01 allows taxpayers a credit for contributions made to a public school for support of extracurricular activities. This is a dollar for dollar credit that is equal to the amount contributed. Rather than a deduction it is a TAX CREDIT. The tax credit is limited to $200 for single taxpayers or heads of household. For married taxpayers who file a joint return, the tax credited is limited to $400. You do not need to have a student enrolled in school to contribute!

Every year we provide school spirit t-shirts for all children, faculty, and volunteers at Homer Davis. Students wear these on field trips and other outings away from the school. Many of our student are so impoverished that this t-shirt becomes a regular staple in their wardrobe. The 600+ spirit shirts are printed with the sponsors’ logo on the back of the shirt and the school mascot logo on the front. The total cost of t-shirt production is approximately $ 2,500. We invite organizations or individuals to donate to the cost of the spirit shirts. This year we are looking for a second sponsor to join an initial sponsor in the amount of $1,250.
JPSA accepts donations of check, cash, stock, charge cards, etc. to support the Making a Difference Every Day: The Homer Davis Program.
