DONATE & CLAIM YOUR TAX CREDITWhat Is the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit?
The Arizona Charitable Tax Credit allows Arizona taxpayers to support qualifying charitable organizations, or QCOs, while receiving a credit toward their Arizona state income-tax liability.
Unlike a tax deduction, which generally reduces taxable income, a tax credit reduces the amount of tax you owe dollar-for-dollar, subject to your eligibility, tax liability, and applicable credit limits.
By choosing the Armer Foundation for Kids, your qualifying contribution helps provide critical assistance to Arizona families caring for children facing serious medical conditions.
Your Tax Credit Can Make a Real Difference
When a child is facing a serious medical condition, families often face expenses far beyond medical treatment alone.
Your donation helps the Armer Foundation for Kids provide assistance to Arizona families when they need it most, including support for:
- Medical-related expenses and needs
- Travel for specialized treatment and appointments
- Essential household and living expenses
- Other critical needs families may face during extended treatment or hospitalization
Your support helps ease some of the financial pressure so families can focus more of their energy on what matters most — their child.
