GIFT is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and dependent on private donations to fund our work. Please support our mission by contributing a donation.
Every bright mind deserves the right fit.
Your gift opens doors for gifted, twice-exceptional, and curious learners who need more than a standard classroom can offer.
Why it matters: Gifted learners often move faster, think deeper, and feel more intensely than their peers. Twice-exceptional students may pair advanced ability with a learning difference, which makes the right environment even more important. Programs designed for these learners change outcomes, but cost keeps many families out. G.I.F.T. closes that gap.
G.I.F.T. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 99-2704322
Scholarships are awarded by a [our board’s scholarship committee] based on published criteria and demonstrated need.

FAQ
Is my donation tax-deductible? Yes, to the extent allowed by law. G.I.F.T. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. If you receive something in return, like an event ticket, your receipt shows the deductible amount.
Can I give to a specific child? Not directly. The IRS does not allow deductions for gifts earmarked for a particular individual. You may recommend a student, and our committee will consider it as one factor, but your gift goes to the fund you choose.
Can I give to both scholarship funds? Yes. Make a gift to each, or choose Where Needed Most and we will allocate it.
Can I give monthly? Yes. Choose Monthly at checkout. You can change or cancel anytime from your donor account.
Is this an Arizona tax-credit donation? [Only if G.I.F.T. is a certified STO; otherwise:] No. Gifts to G.I.F.T. are federal charitable contributions, not Arizona tuition tax-credit donations.
