Arizona Tax Credits

By far the most tax-efficient way to give in Arizona is through the charitable, foster care, and school tax credit programs.

These credits are better than a deduction—they reduce the amount you owe in state taxes by the amount of your donation, dollar-for-dollar. This means you can make a gift and get 100% of that amount back when you file your taxes. It's like donating for free!

CPLC programs are eligible for three Arizona tax credits, and Arizona Residents can take advantage of all three of them. Families can save thousands on state taxes by maximizing these credits.
