JOIN US! Welcome to the Arizona Tax Credit Giving Guide and AZTaxCreditGuide.com ! At Frontdoors Media, we’re proud to be your go-to source for all things philanthropy in our community. As tax season nears, many of you are considering how best to optimize your tax situation while making a positive difference in Arizona. Luckily, our state offers some of the most generous charitable tax credit programs in the country, allowing you to direct your tax dollars to the causes that matter most to you — at no extra cost. With options like the Qualified Charitable Organization (QCO) tax credit, where a married couple can claim up to $938, you have the opportunity to support nonprofits, foster care organizations, schools and tuition organizations across the state. And the best part? Each credit is separate, so you can maximize your giving across multiple categories. We’ve organized the qualified organizations into easy-to-read sections, and all are vetted and approved by the Arizona Department of Revenue. Take this guide to your next tax appointment, and use the worksheet on the back cover as a handy checklist for claiming your credits. Now more than ever, Arizona nonprofits and schools need our support. Let’s work together to make a meaningful difference in our community. Thank you for being a part of this effort!
