Thank you for visiting our website.

Lutheran Education Foundation, Inc (“LEF”) is an Arizona School Tuition Organization (“STO”) and a 501(c)(3). We are certified by the Arizona Department of Revenue as an STO eligible to receive donations from individuals.These donations are subsequently awarded as scholarships to needy students to attend Arizona elementary and secondary private schools (for a list of participating school please click here).

Contributions to LEF will permit deserving students to receive the benefits of a private school education which would otherwise be beyond their reach. Scholarships are awarded solely on the basis of true financial need. Donor student recommendations are not permitted.

Contributions qualify as a dollar-for-dollar reduction in your individual income tax. Your contribution, up to $2,177 ($1,089 single), will either decrease the Arizona tax you would otherwise owe, or will increase the refund you would otherwise receive.
