*Autism Life and Living is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, EIN # 87-1724709. Arizona law makes available a Credit for Contributions to Qualifying Charitable Organizations (QCOs) for cash contributions to a QCO, which includes umbrella organizations. An umbrella organization is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that acts as a conduit for donations on behalf of QCOs. Autism Life and Living collects contributions eligible for the credit through its Arizona Charitable Tax Credit fund, and 100% of contributions to that fund are distributed to QCOs. To take advantage of this benefit with your donation to Autism Life and Living, you must direct a portion or the entirety of your gift – up to $470 for individuals or up to $938 for couples filing jointly in 2024 or up to $495 for individuals or up to $987 for couples filing jointly in 2025 – to Autism Life and Living’s Arizona Charitable Tax Credit fund by selecting that designation when completing your contribution. Autism Life and Living is not a tax advisor, and accordingly, please contact a qualified tax professional for advice on your specific tax situation.
