Charitable Organizations in Arizona

Charitable organizations are nonprofit entities that operate within Arizona to serve public interests, typically through education, health, human services, arts, or community development. Most are classified as 501(c)(3) public charities that are tax-exempt and eligible to receive tax-deductible donations (when itemizing).

Arizona also designates Qualifying Charitable Organizations (QCOs) and Qualifying Foster Care Charitable Organizations (QFCOs) for state tax credit purposes. Unlike itemized deductions, tax credits are subtracted fully from Arizona income taxes owed.

It is estimated that about a third of nonprofit organizations report income to the IRS. Therefore, a large number operate on shoestring budgets, volunteers, or are exempt from reporting. This creates an ecosystem where grassroots efforts compete with multimillion-dollar nonprofits for funding, especially individual tax credit donations. Source: ASU Lodestar
