Arizona Charities

There are over 25,000 registered tax-exempt organizations in Arizona. Most of those are 501c3 public charities, eligible to receive tax-deductible (when itemized) donations.

Arizona also maintains a special list of qualifying charities (QCOs and QFCOs) and that list contains over 1300 state vetted charities ranging from food banks to youth services. Donations to these charities qualify for tax credits (deducted from Arizona taxes owed).

Here are some very useful web resources about Arizona charities and nonprofits.

Charities step in where public services fall short, making our communities better and at the same time driving an economic impact and civic engagment that benefits everyone.
