About Shade Tree Academy
Our Vision
Welcome to Shade Tree Academy! We are excited to announce the opening of our new community center building, specially designed to support children whose life experiences have hindered their access to education in traditional settings.
Our mission is to create a positive trajectory for children who have faced significant trauma, including loss of primary attachment figures and adverse childhood experiences. We believe that every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment to learn and grow.
To achieve this vision, we are seeking Room Sponsors through our "Adopt a Room" initiative. By becoming a Room Sponsor, you and your community can play a vital role in transforming the lives of these children. Your generous contribution will directly support the creation of nurturing and trauma-informed spaces within our community center, providing essential resources and specialized learning environments.
Get your family, co-workers, and neighbors involved in this meaningful cause. A plaque with donors name will be prominently displayed outside of each sponsored room.
Together, let's make a difference in the lives of these deserving children and help them find hope, healing, and educational success.
Join us in our fundraising efforts and consider becoming a Room Sponsor today. Together, we can make a lasting impact and create brighter futures for these resilient young minds. Thank you for your support!
About Shade Tree Academy
Make a Tax Credit Donation
Redirect This Year's Income Taxes to Shade Tree Academy (STA) Through the Private School Tax Credit, Without Any Cost to You, and Help Fund a Trauma Informed Education to a Child in Need!
Shade Tree Academy, a program of ASA Now, is a 501(c)(3) Public Charity in Arizona. Arizona tax law allows those who donate to Private Certified School Tuition Organizations to receive two (2) separate nonrefundable state tax credits (Original & Switcher). These tax credits are available to individuals for contributions made to a Certified School Tuition Organization which provides scholarships for students enrolled in Arizona private schools. An individual who is a shareholder of an S corporation may also claim two separate nonrefundable credits for contributions made by the S corporation when the S corporation qualifies for a corporate credit and elects to pass the credit through to its individual shareholders. Your charitable contribution will help offset Private Tuition costs for students impacted by foster care.
