See how your generosity is creating real opportunities for Arizona students.
ACYR is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and general donations play a vital role in funding our youth programs, community services, and school support initiatives. You can give any amount, and your contribution helps sustain the full range of programs ACYR provides across the Valley.
ACYR also operates City View High School, a qualified charitable organization under Arizona’s School Tax Credit program. With this option, you can contribute up to $200 (single filers) or $400 (married filing jointly) and receive a dollar-for-dollar credit on your Arizona state taxes. These contributions directly support students enrolled in ACYR’s school programs.
Donate up to $400 (married filing jointly) or $200 (individual)
Use Arizona Form 322 when you file your state taxes to report your contribution.
Receive a dollar-for-dollar credit on your Arizona state taxes - its that simple.
$25 helps a student apply for their Arizona driver’s license — a key step toward independence.
$64 provides one student with a monthly bus pass so they can get to class on time.
$82 covers a High School Equivalency (GED) test for one student.
$140 pays for an IT Fundamentals or CNA certification exam, preparing students for in-demand careers.
$100 assists a student with a utility bill, creating stability at home while they complete school.
A tax credit reduces the amount of tax you owe dollar-for-dollar, while a tax deduction lowers your taxable income. That means a $400 donation to a Qualifying Charitable Organization like ACYR reduces your Arizona state tax bill by $400 — not just your income.
No — there’s no minimum amount. Even a $5 donation qualifies when recorded on Arizona Form 321.
For 2025, individuals can claim up to $421, and married couples filing jointly can claim up to $841 for gifts to Qualifying Charitable Organizations (QCOs) like ACYR.
Yes. If you can’t use your full credit this year, Arizona allows a five-year carry-forward period. You can apply the remaining unused portion of your credit for up to five consecutive years, as long as the total doesn’t exceed your tax liability in any given year.
No. Arizona’s charitable tax credits are non-refundable. This means they can reduce what you owe down to $0, but they cannot generate a refund beyond that amount.
You can make your donation up to April 15 (or the official state filing deadline) to apply it toward the previous tax year. This gives you extra time after December 31 to support ACYR and still claim the credit.
When you give through Arizona's School Tax Credit, your donation helps ACYR students gainconfidence, skills, and opportunities — all while giving you a dollar-for-dollar state tax credit.
ACYR (Arizona Center for Youth Resources) is a qualified charitable organization under Arizona’s School Tax Credit program. Individual taxpayers may receive a credit up to $200, and married couples filing jointly may receive up to $400. Donations made by April 15, 2025, may be applied to 2024 tax returns. Always consult a qualified tax professional for advice on your specific situation.
