Arizona Gives Day is officially on Tuesday, April 2, but AZ Impact for Good and the nonprofit organizations it serves are already ramping up for a critical opportunity to raise funds in a challenging giving environment.
Contributions on AZGiver.org are tax-deductible and, in some cases, can count toward the Arizona Qualified Charitable, Qualified Foster Care or Public School Tax Credits.
The Arizona Gives program is run by AZ Impact for Good, formerly the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits + Arizona Grantmakers Forum. The event was started in 2013 to connect people with causes they believe in, bring awareness to the work being done in our communities by nonprofits and build a lasting, stronger spirit of philanthropy.
Individuals and businesses are encouraged to create their own fundraiser page to support their favorites nonprofit(s) by finding the nonprofit(s) on azgives.org and selecting the "Create A Fundraiser" button on the nonprofit's profile page.
Donors contributed more than $5.3 million to more than 875 Arizona nonprofits as part of the 2023 Arizona Gives Day. Arizona Gives Day has now generated nearly $42 million for Arizona nonprofits over the past decade. The event raised more than $6 million in 2022. Additionally, more than 26,000 donations were made to 875 of the 986 participating nonprofits in 2023 to bring the preliminary grand total raised since the event began in 2013 to nearly $42 million. And, during the 2023 event, 1,366 volunteers pledged a total of 59,110 hours to their favorite nonprofit organizations.
