Hi!
I hope you're doing well! I wanted to share something important that I’m part of and invite you to join me in making a real impact.
As a member of the 20/30 Phoenix, I’ve committed to fundraising for Aspiring Youth Academy, an organization that empowers underrepresented high school students by giving them access to entrepreneurship, leadership development, and financial education. These young people have talent, drive, and vision, and with the right opportunities, there's no limit to what they can achieve.
This cause is close to my heart – being a parent myself (ages 15, 14, and 10), I’ve seen firsthand the impact programs like this have on students' confidence and their future. I believe every young person deserves a chance to reach their potential!
My goal is to raise $10,000.00 by April 15, 2026, and I would be incredibly grateful for your support.
Here’s my fundraising page: https://secure.qgiv.com/event/aya20-30taxcredit2025/account/2185543
Every dollar makes a difference. AYA qualifies for the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit.
This is your chance to put your taxes where you want! This is a dollar-for-dollar tax credit!
Married filers can contribute up to $987, and single filers can contribute up to $495 and potentially receive a dollar-for-dollar credit on their AZ Taxes. Your support will directly impact the future of a deserving student.
If you’re not able to give right now, that’s totally okay. Sharing my page with your network would mean a lot, too!
Thank you so much for supporting my efforts and advancing the mission of Aspiring Youth Academy. Let’s help the next generation rise.
With gratitude,
Matthew Krause
