Welcome Dear PCDS Community: We are pleased to report that the 2016-17 school year was outstanding in so many respects—our students excelled in the classroom, in the athletic arena, on the stage, and through service-learning opportunities. With grateful hearts we thank you, our generous parents, grandparents, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends, for going above and beyond with gifts to the Annual Fund, Tax Credit, and THRIVE campaign. In 2016-17, PCDS raised a total of $4,298,540 in annual giving (Annual Fund + Tax Credit) and we are close to crossing the finish line of the largest comprehensive capital campaign in our history, THRIVE. Your generosity is a heartfelt expression of your commitment – THANK YOU! This Annual Report on Philanthropy allows us to recognize every member of our community who made a gift to the School between July 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017.

ANNUAL FUND GIVING LEVELS Gifts range from $25-$50,000. While leadership gifts of $1,000 or more are critical to the success of the Annual Fund, the combined impact of every gift of every size helps to maintain the excellence of PCDS.
“ Giving is the rent we pay to live in this world. How can we live where we live and not feel compelled to give a portion of what we earn to help those around us? When we make a donation to the Annual Fund, we make a difference in the lives of PCDS students. PCDS is an amazing school that I am proud to contribute to with my finances, time, and talents. Please join me in making a difference.” Pam Gagner, Kindergarten Teacher

HOW IT WORKS There are two Arizona Private School Tax Credit Programs that help fund PCDS financial scholarships. Individual Program: • Redirect a portion of personal Arizona tax liability to a Student Tuition Organization (AISSF) in support of the PCDS financial aid program. • Participants, in turn, receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit against their Arizona income taxes. • There is a maximum amount for 2017: $2,177 (married filer) and $1,089 (singler filer). Corporate Program: • Any Arizona “C” or “S” Corporation can redirect their corporate tax obligation to a private school of their choice (PCDS) to help fund need-based scholarships. • Corporations, in turn, receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit against their AZ income taxes. • No maximum contribution amount – just a minimum of $5,000 per company.

PCDS STUDENTS WITH FINANCIAL NEED
