Arizona Nonprofit Organizations
Nonprofit organizations and Arizona tax credits are a fascinating intersection of civic generosity and expanded job creation. It's a Win-Win for donors and nonprofit charities.
Arizona offers dollar-for-dollar tax credits for donations to certified nonprofit organizations allowing your contribution to directly reduce your state tax liability. That’s not just a deduction—it’s a full credit.
Key statutory programs:
- QCOs (Qualifying Charitable Organizations) – Supports a nonprofit providing basic needs like food, shelter, medical care, and job training to low-income residents.
- QFCOs (Qualifying Foster Care Charitable Organizations) – Focuses on foster care services for children and youth.
- Fundraising – Donors are more likely to give when they know they’ll get a tax break.
- Credibility – Certification by the Arizona Department of Revenue signals compliance and trustworthiness.
AZTaxCreditList.com is the best way to review "qualified" Arizona non-profit charities. The Arizona Dept of Revenue publishes a list of qualified charities codes, names and addresses. Each of those 1000+ charities have been reviewed to provide an online interactive list version with much more information about each charity.
