Donate to Arizona Boys State or Pay Tuition/Sponsorship

Thank you for contributing to Arizona Boys State!  Beginning in Fall 2025, Arizona Boys State now uses Zeffy (a free payment processor for nonprofits) to process all electronic payments to Boys State.   

Please note that each Zeffy payment form will ask whether you would like to contribute an additional amount to the platform to keep Zeffy free for nonprofits.  This contribution is entirely optional.  You may opt out by selecting “Other” on the drop-down menu and entering “0” as the contribution amount.  

If you would prefer to make a payment by check, you may make your check payable to Arizona Boys State and mail it to The American Legion Department of Arizona, 4701 N. 19th Avenue, Suite 200, Phoenix, AZ 85015.  Please write the purpose of the payment on the memo line (e.g., “Tuition payment for John Smith,” “Sponsorship for John Smith,” “Sponsorship for Saguaro High School student,” “General donation to Arizona Boys State”). 

Please click the appropriate button below to make a payment using the correct Zeffy form. 

Students: Pay your tuition fee here (typically $300 per student)!  Schools may also use this form to pay a tuition fee on behalf of a student. 

Posts and other sponsors: Pay a sponsorship fee here (typically $425 per student)!  “Sponsorship” is defined as money benefiting a particular student (or a to-be-identified student from a particular high school).  If you wish to make a general donation to Boys State (i.e., money not tied to a particular student), please use the general donation form below. 

Donors: Make a general donation to Boys State here!  Donated funds may be used for a variety of purposes, including as financial aid for students who cannot afford the tuition fee, or other program costs.  If you wish to make a payment for the benefit of a particular student, please use one of the other payment options above. 

Please note: Arizona Boys State is a nonprofit corporation recognized as a 501(c)(3) organization by the IRS.  Contributions to Arizona Boys State may be deductible.
