Ways to Give
You give. Our participants win.
Your generous donations have a tremendous impact on our community and give Phoenix youth the help they need to learn workplace skills, education, and many other opportunities. With your donations, they will be able to find higher-paying jobs and long-term careers, graduate from high school or earn a high school equivalency diploma. From corporate sponsorships to individual contributions to clothing donations to volunteering, you have many ways to help change lives through the dignity of work.
Direct Donations
ACYR helps build pathways to success through education, skill building, and employment.
Every dollar you donate helps prepare our participants to find work, graduate from high school, or get a high school equivalency (HSE) diploma. Our career advisors and teachers help develop self-esteem and become inspired by their success. Your generous donations will help our participants in so many ways
- $50 per month will support one youth in their training efforts.
- $250 will provide transportation assistance to four youth.
- $300 will provide tuition for three college credits for one student.
- $500 will provide high school equivalency testing to four youth.
- $2,000 will make it possible to train one participant for 200 hours.
Together we support our local opportunity youth by giving them the essential resources to ensure their success.

The state of Arizona offers taxpayers the chance to make contributions to schools and non-profit organizations that reduce the amount of tax owed to the state or increase the amount of the taxpayer’s refund, dollar-for-dollar. There is NO NET COST to the donor, and deserving individuals around the state can benefit. There are three main communities tax credit donations serve, and donors can contribute to any or all of them. As with any financial recommendation, we recommend you contact a qualified Tax professional for expert advice.
