TAX CREDIT GIVING GUIDE | FRONTDOORS MEDIA 13 “The One Big, Beautiful Bill, signed into law on July 4, 2025, also created some tax planning opportunities by making some changes to the federal law limiting charitable contributions for higher-income taxpayers and expanding them for non-itemizers for the 2026 tax year,” Blunt said. “Before making an election to claim contributions made in 2026 on your 2025 Arizona return, you may want to factor in how this new law will impact you in 2026 to determine which year will yield the highest benefit.” Ellen Lord, vice president of philanthropy for Maggie’s Place, said tax credit contributions are also a great way to ensure that donations stay local and support our community. “It’s wonderful that Arizona residents have the opportunity to support nonprofits near and dear to their heart, while benefiting from a credit against their state taxes,” she said. “Maggie’s Place is fortunate to be on the list of qualified tax credit organizations. Our mission is unique as we are one of a few nonprofits across the country who serve homeless, pregnant women. Donations from individuals help us provide essential resources for women and their babies, including safe shelter, emotional support and vital programs and services.” For a complete list of qualifying charitable organizations and qualifying foster care organizations visit azdor.gov/tax-credits/ contributions-qcos-and-qfcos . Organizations are also added on an ongoing basis, so it may be worth your time to check back before year-end and again before April 15, 2026 — the last day 2025 tax credit contributions can be made.
