Tax Credit

your tax credit donation makes a difference

Coconino CASA for Kids is a Qualifying Foster Care Organization

The state of Arizona offers its taxpayers the opportunity to make contributions to qualifying foster care charitable organizations (QFCOs) that reduce the amount of tax owed to the state or increase the amount of the taxpayer’s refund, dollar-for-dollar. The maximum credit allowed now increases each year and is reflected in the chart below.

In order to receive the dollar-for-dollar Arizona tax credit, you must have a tax liability for at least the amount of your donation. After you donate, you will receive a receipt noting that your donation was made to a Qualifying Foster Care Charitable Organization.

The child’s dependency must originate in Gila County but the child can be placed anywhere, including group homes and treatment facilities. Some examples of basic needs and wants are: clothing, food, school supplies, gas, baby supplies, sports fees and equipment, musical instrument rentals, outings for siblings, summer camp, and furniture. $75 per child per month can be requested for diapers and is automatically approved. DCS caseworkers and CASAs can submit a request. Most requests will be reviewed by a committee and a decision will be communicated within 48 hours. Requests will be filled on Mondays and Thursdays. Most requests are filled with a physical or electronic gift card, not with the actual item.
