Arizona Gives Day may coincide with April Fool’s Day this year, but the need to support Arizona nonprofits is no joke.
That’s why this year’s Arizona Gives Day, powered by AZ Impact for Good, will include the launch of a new platform to make donations easier for Arizona residents and the nonprofits they support. The new platform (AZGives.org) is designed to boost donor engagement, streamline processes, and make giving even more impactful.
The annual day of giving has generated more than $47 million for Arizona nonprofits over the past decade and raised more than $5.3 million in 2024.
Nonprofit registration runs until March 7 for this year’s campaign, which enters participating nonprofits into a prize pool for more than 120 prizes totaling more than $150,000.
And Arizona Gives Day is more than just one day — donors can start showing their support for Arizona nonprofits now or when the Arizona Gives Day early giving window opens on March 11.
Contributions on AZGives.org are tax-deductible and, in some cases, can count toward the Arizona Qualified Charitable, Qualified Foster Care, or Public School Tax Credits. And with an uncertain political and economic environment for the coming year, Arizona residents have an opportunity to take it upon themselves to make their communities a better place by supporting the work of nonprofits in a variety of different areas of specialty.
The Arizona Gives program is run by AZ Impact for Good, formerly the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits + Arizona Grantmakers Forum. The event was started in 2013 to connect people with causes they believe in and build a lasting, stronger spirit of philanthropy in Arizona.
“Nonprofit organizations are so vital to the well-being of our communities, but many are facing uncertainty about how their programs will continue right now from decreased contributions,” said Jennifer Purcell, Chief Impact Officer for AZ Impact for Good. “Arizona Gives Day is an opportunity for nonprofits to showcase the impact they are having on Arizona communities and for those people to give back.”
Donors contributed more than $5.3 million to more than 893 Arizona nonprofits as part of the 2024 Arizona Gives Day. Arizona Gives Day has now generated more than $47 million for Arizona nonprofits over the past decade. The event raised $5.3 million in 2023 as well. Additionally, more than 23,516 donations were made to 893 of the 1,033 participating nonprofits. And, during the event, 7345 volunteers pledged a total of 58,943 hours to their favorite nonprofit organizations.
Donations may be made online at azgives.org.
Businesses can also get involved through group giving, sponsorship or in several other ways. For more information about sponsorship opportunities or how businesses can get involved, email [email protected].
