Life Book Programs

  Please open your hearts to the most vulnerable members of our community. Arizona’s children need your help. 100% of your donation goes to the foster children's programs--- none will go for administration or fundraising.

Arizonans for Children is a qualifying charitable organization under Arizona tax laws (A.R.S. 43-1088---tax credit for donations to the working poor) therefore cash donations are entitled to a tax credit of up to $200 for single and $400 for married couple filing joint return. This tax credit can reduce taxes for these tax filers more than a regular deduction for contributions to charitable nonprofits, because they may get a dollar-for-dollar reduction in taxes owed. 

Contributions can also be given to umbrella organizations, such as Valley of the Sun or Mesa United Way, provided the taxpayer designates that donations be directed to Arizonans for Children. United Way number: 3333085
