25 years of helping foster youth: Arizona Foster Care Tax Credit

This year, the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust celebrates 25 years of community grantmaking in Arizona. To honor Mrs. Pulliam’s legacy, the Trust continues to support foster youth and the organizations helping them. There are close to 14,000 children in foster care in Arizona and only 3,000 licensed foster families to care for them. Besides supporting basic needs of foster youth, organizations like Child Criss Arizona, Free Arts for Abused Children and The Center for the Rights of Abused Children provide transformative programs, supportive mentors and critical legal protection for abused and neglected children in foster care.

These are some of the many qualifying organizations you can direct your state tax dollars to through the Arizona Foster Care Tax Credit. You may be able to claim a credit of up to $1,051 by donating to any organization below.
