The first 2,000 days of a child’s life between birth and kindergarten are critical to development and their chances of lifelong health and well-being.
We are Arizona’s largest nonprofit dedicated to early childhood development serving 135,000 children and their families each year.
Our more than 900 caring and highly-qualified staff provide 40 early childhood programs and services to children, families and professionals in Arizona.
As you prepare to file your taxes, remember that Arizona taxpayers can receive up to an $800 charitable tax credit back each year!
The Arizona Credit for Contributions to Qualifying Charitable Organizations makes it easy to direct your state tax dollars to the nonprofit organizations that matter to you most.
The first step in receiving this credit is making a financial contribution to Southwest Human Development so we can continue to support Arizona’s children and their families.
For your 2018 taxes, you’re able to claim any donations up to $400 for individuals or $800 for married/filing joint that were made from January 1, 2018 through April 15, 2019.
How do I claim this Arizona tax credit?
Be sure to download the 2018 Arizona Form 301 and Arizona Form 321 you’ll need when filing your state income taxes. Our Qualifying Charity Code is 20390 (you’ll need to enter this on Form 321). Pro Tip: If you use an online software like H&R Block or TurboTax, they’ll complete these forms for you!
