Donations

What is the Working Poor Tax Credit?

The Working Poor Tax Credit is a dollar-for-dollar charitable contribution you can give to 501(c)(3) corporations (nonprofits). With Arizona's Working Poor Tax Credit you can receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit, up to $400*, on your state income taxes while helping homeless youth and adults — at no additional cost to you. You can either pay the State or you can pay Goodwill.

How do I qualify for Charitable Tax Credits?

Bashas’ Shop & Give Program allows customers to shop and link their Bashas’ Thank You card to a Goodwill account. Your grocery purchases will directly support Goodwill as Bashas’ will give back 1 percent of your shopping dollars to Goodwill. From September 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009, Goodwill supporters can shop at Bashas’ with their Thank You Card and a portion of their purchase will be donated to Goodwill.

Please make Goodwill of Central Arizona a part your estate planning.

Goodwill has a long history of providing employment and training services to people with disabilities or other barriers to employment. All Goodwill programs are made possible through the generosity of people like you. A planned gift to Goodwill of Central Arizona helps to ensure the future of the services we provide in our community, and may help to further your financial goals by reducing the value of your taxable estate.

Planned gifts include gifts through your will, charitable gift annuities, charitable trusts, and gifts of life insurance. We highly recommend that you consult with your own tax or legal advisor prior to making a planned gift.

Your tax-deductible donations play a vital role in Goodwill's ability to fulfill our mission of giving a "hand up" to individuals facing barriers to employment. Your donations transform into dollars that help us fund our programs and Put People to Work through education and employment services.

Think of it as a down payment on somebody's future.

By giving to Goodwill, you support individuals and families who need help becoming self-sufficient.

From keeping young people in school and engaged after classes and training entire families in the use of new technologies and services, to teaching adults the basic skills they need to find, keep and succeed at careers, Goodwill of Central Arizona has been helping create a better community for more than 60 years.
