Fuel creativity, curiosity, and community this Giving Tuesday by supporting Flagstaff Arts & Leadership Academy (FALA), Flagstaff’s 6–12 arts-focused public charter school. Every gift you make helps students discover their voice, build confidence, and share their talents with the entire Flagstaff community.
At FALA, students don’t just sit in rows and take notes—we paint, dance, design, perform, compose, debate, build, and serve. Your donation helps keep the arts at the center of learning while also supporting strong academics, student wellness, and inclusive community traditions that make FALA such a unique place to grow up.
Why Your Gift Matters
Your donation to FALA:
- Keeps the arts alive in public education: It funds theatre productions, visual arts supplies, music equipment, costumes, lighting, digital media, and more—giving students tools to explore big ideas and tell their own stories.
- Supports project-based and experiential learning: Students learn by doing: creating exhibitions, performances, community projects, films, murals, and service-learning experiences that reach far beyond the classroom.
- Builds a safe, inclusive space for every student: FALA is known as a place where students feel seen, accepted, and encouraged to be themselves. Donations support small classes, student support services, and programs that nurture both creativity and well-being.
- Strengthens the Flagstaff arts & culture community: FALA students perform, exhibit, and volunteer throughout Flagstaff, bringing energy to local events, venues, and organizations. Your gift doesn’t just support a school—it invests in the cultural life of Northern Arizona.
Bridges the gap in public funding: State funding covers the basics
FALA. is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. Any donation made is tax deductible.
Ways to Give
Whether you’re a current family, alum, grandparent, neighbor, or arts lover, there are several meaningful ways to support FALA students:
Arizona Public School Tax Credit
Turn your Arizona state tax liability into direct support for FALA’s students.
Through the Arizona Public School Tax Credit (A.R.S. 43-1089.01), Arizona taxpayers can contribute to public schools—like FALA—for extracurricular activities and character education and receive a dollar-for-dollar credit against the state taxes they owe (up to the allowed maximum).
- Single / Head of Household: up to $200
- Married / Filing Jointly: up to $400
These contributions help fund things like clubs, field trips, outdoor learning, service learning, and performing arts opportunities that bring learning to life.
How to Give via Tax Credit:
- Determine your filing status and the maximum amount you wish to contribute.
- Choose how your gift is used by selecting one or more qualified programs in the Tax Credit section of our online donation form.
- Make your Tax Credit contribution online and we’ll email you a receipt, or bring cash or check to the FALA office.
For details and eligibility, please review the Arizona Department of Revenue’s information and consult your tax advisor for guidance on your specific situation.
General Donations
General donations give FALA the flexibility to respond to needs as they arise and to dream a little bigger for our students.
Your general gift can help:
- Maintain and upgrade classrooms, studios, and performance spaces
- Support faculty and staff who mentor and inspire students every day
- Expand academic and arts programs as student interests grow
- Provide assistance for students who need help accessing opportunities
Whether it’s a one-time gift or a recurring monthly contribution, your support makes a direct impact on students’ daily experiences at school.

- Help purchase instruments, cameras, lab equipment, costumes, and supplies
