Tax Credit Contributions CONTINUE TO BOOST ARIZONA NONPROFITS

Tax credit contributions — donations that provide revenue to nonprofits while giving donors a break on state income taxes — continue to be the fuel that powers many Arizona nonprofits and helps them achieve their missions.

Tax credit contributions continue to be a vital funding source for many Arizona nonprofits — and an excellent way for Arizona residents to make a tangible difference in their communities.

Arizona law allows taxpayers to donate to a qualified charity or tuition organization and get a dollar-fordollar reduction on state income taxes. Over time, these contributions have become increasingly popular for residents and beneficial for nonprofits.

The State of Arizona allows these tax credits when donors give to qualified organizations in these categories:

• Arizona Qualifying Charitable Organizations, which provide basic needs to qualifying low-income families and individuals, the chronically ill and disabled. Limits are $470 for individuals and $938 for married couples for tax year 2024 and $495 for individuals and $987 for married couples for the 2025 tax year.

• Qualifying Foster Care Organizations, with limits of $587 for individuals and $1,173 for married couples for tax year 2024 and $618 for individuals and $1,234 for married couples for the 2025 tax year.

• Public School Tax Credit Organizations, with limits of $200 for individuals and $400 for married couples.

• Private School Tuition Organizations for Individuals, with limits of $731 for individuals and $1,459 for married couples for the 2024 tax year and $769 for individuals and $1,535 for married couples for the 2025 tax year.

• Certified School Tuition Organizations (also known as the “Switcher” Individual Tax Credit, this credit is only available if you’ve already maxed out the Private School Tuition Organization credit). Limits are $728 for individuals and $1,451 for married couples in 2024, and $766 for individuals and $1,527 for married couples in 2025.

• Private School Tuition Organizations for Corporations: C-Corporations, S-Corporations, LLCs and insurance companies can qualify for two types of credits. The first one is the Corporate Contributions to School Tuition Organizations, which supports low-income students in private schools. The full name of the second credit is Corporate Contributions to School Tuition Organizations for Displaced Students or Students with Disabilities.

Arizona law allows contributions to be counted for the 2024 tax year all the way up to April 15, 2025.

Brenda Blunt, a partner with Eide Bailly LLP, said that other than the dollar amounts, there have been no major changes this tax year to what’s become an increasingly popular way to give back.

“It remains a great way to support schools, access to private schools and charities serving our neediest populations in a tax-efficient way,” she said. “I work with a number of private schools that have been able to attract a greater diversity of students, enriching the education process of all their students. I also work with numerous charities that are able to expand their programs to help people enjoy a full and productive life because of the tax credit dollars they attract.”

Lorraine Tallman, the founder & CEO of Amanda Hope Rainbow Angels, said the tax credit contributions have a personal meaning for her. She founded the charity in memory of her daughter Amanda, who died of leukemia in 2012. Today, the nonprofit provides support services for families impacted by childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

“As a mom of a cancer warrior, I personally know the financial devastation and the mental duress on the entire family,” she said. “Arizona tax credit dollars allow us to provide free counseling programs and financial assistance to the everyday ‘here-and-now needs’ our families face daily. Priceless.”

For a complete list of qualifying charitable organizations and qualifying foster care organizations, visit azdor.gov/tax-credits/contributions-qcos-andqfcos. 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, 2025 — the last day 2024 tax credit contributions can be made.

WHAT

IS AN UMBRELLA ORGANIZATION?

Some charities under the Arizona Qualified Charity Tax Credit have a slightly different designation as “umbrella organizations.” They are eligible for the same contribution limits ($470 for individuals, $938 for couples), but are listed differently on the State of Arizona’s website.

For example, Executive Council Charities, Valley of the Sun United Way and other United Way organizations across the state are considered “umbrella organizations” because they may receive tax credit contributions and distribute them to other nonprofit partners in the community.

REMINDER!

Use the Tax Credit Worksheet on the back cover to take notes and record the Umbrella tax code for the charities you choose. You can choose more than one!

Until no child misses a meal.

Food access is a key issue holding children back from a successful future. At Valley of the Sun United Way, we will never stop supporting our community until this issue—and other key issues in education, housing & homelessness, health, and workforce development—are solved. See how you can help at vsuw.org.

Umbrella Organizations

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL CHARITIES

Our mission is to support charity organizations focused on helping youth in our community overcome adversity and reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens.

Support Arizona Youth (SAY) is the annual campaign for Executive Council Charities (ECC), an umbrella organization for the Arizona charitable tax credit. Through SAY, donors can take advantage of the tax credit for both qualified and foster care charities, or indicate a preference for any specific qualified charity. Not only are 100 percent of the funds forwarded to benefit vital programs at these charities, but ECC also covers all credit card processing fees.
