ARIZONA FRIENDS OF FOSTER CHILDREN FOUNDATION Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation creates opportunities to build self-esteem and empower children and youth in foster care by funding services to enrich their lives and ensure their successful transition to adulthood. For children and youth in foster care, nothing about their lives is normal. Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation strives to create opportunities that allow them to enjoy “normal” childhood experiences. Your donation to AFFCF creates moments of joy in a difficult time by paying for childhood activities such as summer camp, athletic registration and more. For older youth, your gift creates opportunities by providing them with critical career, education and employment development services they need to succeed. Since our beginning in 1984, AFFCF has paid more than $15.6 million in awards, serving nearly 81,000 children across Arizona. affcf.org Tax Code 10023 ARIZONA ASSOCIATION FOR FOSTER AND ADOPTIVE PARENTS Our purpose is to increase the stability, well-being and connection of Arizona’s foster, kinship and adoptive families and their children. We aim to strengthen and encourage those families through education, financial and emotional support, relationships and providing opportunities for a voice throughout their journey. The Arizona Association for Foster and Adoptive Parents was founded in 2003 to support, empower and educate the state’s foster, adoptive and kinship families. Every year, we organize events and activities that bring children and families together for fun and support. Examples include a back-to-school shoe giveaway, spring and fall picnics, swim parties, family camp and the Recycle Your Bicycle program for the holidays. Here’s how your donation helps children and families: $1,000 sends 20 children back to school with NEW shoes. $500 buys parts to recycle 20 bicycles for children in foster care during the holidays. azafap.org Tax Code 10008 Qualified Foster Care Organizations | $526 per Individual / $1,051 per Married Couple 64 FRONTDOORS MEDIA | TAX CREDIT GIVING GUIDE
