Giving through the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit is an easy way to redirect the money you would otherwise be paying in taxes. By leveraging the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit, you take control of where your tax dollars go. Your donation will either reduce the total Arizona state income tax you owe or increase the state income tax refund you receive, dollar-for-dollar when you file your taxes – up to $800 if you’re married and file jointly, or up to $400 if you file as an individual.*
Valley of the Sun United Way relies on charitable donations to continue to fund critical programs in our community, all of which focus on tackling today’s most pressing issues, including health and hunger, housing and homelessness, education and workforce development. All integral parts of MC2026, a five-year plan for Mighty Change in Maricopa County.
Your donation provides hardworking families with essentials needed to maintain stability, including emergency rent, utilities and other vital resources. When you give, you support the most urgent needs of our vulnerable neighbors – give hope, get a tax credit.
