Mesa West Rotary Club Pledges $10,000 to TRVFA

On Thursday, November 3rd, President John Eagleston presented Rotary District 5510 Governor Tonya Watson a pledge to for our club members to donate $10,000 to The Rotary Vocational Fund of Arizona (TRVFA).

The fund provides vocational training grants to Arizona residents who are actively working towards earning a certificate or training in nursing, auto mechanics, auto body repair, construction technology, cosmetology, medical aid, police/fire science and other vocational fields. The program does not fund community college or four-year degree programs.

To learn more about this important program. please visit trvfa.org.

TRVFA is an organization which meets Arizona’s Credit For Contributions To A Qualifying Charitable Organization requirements (formerly known as working poor credit). Donations may qualify for an Arizona Tax Credit up to $800 for couples and $400 for a single filer.

The amount donated may also be deductible as a charitable contribution for federal income tax purposes to the extent allowed by law.

Please consult your tax advisor to determine the tax benefits of your donation.

Donate to the Rotary Vocational Fund

For the third year, The Rotary Club of Mesa West is encouraging all of our members to utilize the state of Arizona tax credit for the working poor. It's simple and it benefits so, so many people.

This link takes you to the Rotary Vocational Fund website. 

Contribute what makes sense for your own tax situation – up to $800 for joint filers.

Remember this is a tax credit --- if you are paying $500-1500-3000 in state income tax, you can now direct up to $800 of your obligation to this fund and thereby help someone with a scholarship to better themselves. How cool is that?!
