Good Deeds Guide Excitement and Activity Build Toward Arizona Gives Day on April 4

Arizona Gives Day is coming April 4, but the activity and excitement has already begun. Approximately 1,000 nonprofits have registered to be part of the annual day of giving, which has generated more than $36 million for Arizona nonprofits over the past decade and raised more than $6 million in 2022.

And Arizona Gives Day is more than just one day — donors can start showing their support for Arizona nonprofits when the early giving window opens on March 14.

Contributions to Arizona Gives Day are tax-deductible and, in some cases, can count toward the Arizona Qualified Charitable, Qualified Foster Care, or Public School Tax Credits. And with Arizona’s economy remaining strong, this year’s Arizona Gives Day could be the most impactful one yet.

The Arizona Gives program is run by 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.

“We are already seeing a tremendous amount of interest in this year’s Arizona Gives Day and we’re excited about the weeks to come leading up to April 4,” said Kristen Wilson, CEO of the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits + Arizona Grantmakers Forum.

Arizona Gives Day 2022 raised more than $6 million for nonprofit organizations across the state during the 24-hour online fundraising event in April. More than 32,000 donations were made to 918 of the 1006 participating nonprofits to bring the grand total raised since the event began in 2013 to $36,406,062. The average amount of money raised per organization was $6,546 with the average online donation was $239.
