Although the holiday season can be a lot of fun, it can also generate a lot of stress. There's all the shopping, the decorating, the cooking. Plus, people will be buying presents for family and friends! All of these things can take a toll on your sanity and your wallet. Luckily, you don’t have to break the bank to donate to Child Crisis Arizona!
Read through our list below, for 7 FREE (and easy!) ways to make a contribution to Child Crisis Arizona:
Did you know that you can redirect your AZ State Tax Dollars to Child Crisis Arizona? And it doesn't cost you a dime. When you make a donation, up to $500 as an individual or $1,000 as a married couple filing jointly, to a Qualifying Foster Care Organization (QFCO) in the state of Arizona you receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit against your state tax liability. Visit us online to learn more about donating your tax credit, today!
Will you be shopping on Amazon for some of your holiday gifts this year? If so, consider shopping through Amazon Smile, a simple and automatic way to support us, with no additional cost to you. When you shop at smile.amazon.com, you will find the exact same selection and prices as Amazon.com, but with every purchase, the AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5 percent of the purchase price to a charitable organization of your choice! And, if you want to double your donation while you're shopping on Amazon, consider purchasing something off of our Amazon Wish List!
Similar to Amazon Smile, other retailers are also willing to donate a percentage of money or goods you purchase online to a charity of your choice. Check out our Purchase with a Purpose page to for more information about participating retailers!
Making a donation doesn't always mean money. Volunteers make the day-to-day operations of Child Crisis Arizona possible and their hard work and dedication are invaluable to our ability to care for the children we serve. There are a variety of volunteer opportunities for individuals and groups, so be sure to check out our volunteers page and attend our next volunteer orientation. We can't wait to meet you!
Life is busy enough regularly, but during the holidays it can be twice as hectic. If you don't have the time to commit to a regular volunteer schedule, don't worry... there's still something you can do! Be a social media advocate! What does that mean? It's simple. Like us on Facebook and share our posts. Be vocal about why you support Child Crisis Arizona, or why this cause is important to you. Send people to our website to learn more about us. Or, if you want to raise money as you're raising awareness, consider starting a Facebook fundraiser #safekidsstrongfamilies
Birthday coming up? Wedding? Baby shower? Is there nothing on your holiday wish list this year? If you've got a special occasion coming up and you've already got everything you could ever want or need, consider sharing your special day with a child in need. In lieu of gifts, just ask that your family and friends make a donation in your honor.
Help provide a child in need with essentials by starting a donation drive! Donation drives are fun and can be done at your own pace as an individual or with a group of people. Some people start donation drives at their school or place of business and others choose to host events to raise donations. Visit our website for more information about our needs and the different types of donation drives you could start!
Did you know you can increase your regular holiday donation to Child Crisis Arizona for FREE? Many companies offer employees a matching gift benefit that can double, or even triple, the contribution to Child Crisis Arizona.
