How it works:
The State of Arizona has a unique program that allows you to decide where you want your tax dollars to go for charitable purposes. NourishPHX is a Qualified Charitable Organization (QCO) for the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit that gives you the opportunity to donate to NourishPHX (see limits above) and receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit. Our QCO code is 20385.
*For example, if a single individual owes $1000 in taxes but donates $400 to a qualifying charitable organization, their tax liability is reduced to $600.
How NourishPHX uses your gift: Your donation will clothe, feed and provide employment support to more than 20,000 individuals that are served each year, 30% being children!
Step-by-step: how to donate:
