    GIVE THE GIFT OF HOPE - ASA Now Ongoing Sponsorship Opportunities

    "Hope is the seed of all good things, the starting place of dreams coming true!"
  • ASA Now brings awareness to Arizona’s foster care crisis and creates opportunities for our community to volunteer to impact the lives of our most vulnerable population: children who were abused, abandoned or neglected at the hands of the very people who were supposed to protect them.

    To serve children, youth and families directly impacted by foster care, ASA Now created a “one-stop” healing space where immediate needs are met and tutoring for children who have fallen behind educationally are rendered. Extracurricular activities are provided to offer healing and joy. Birthdays and graduations are celebrated. Life skills and mentors are provided for youth close to aging out. 

    We wrap our arms around caregivers by providing advocacy, workshops, support groups, trainings, food assistance, retreats, respite, family and holiday events. 

    The services we provide to children, youth, and families impacted by foster care are made possible through the talents and time provided by our angel volunteers and by donors who truly care about making an impact in the lives of our most vulnerable population. To our knowledge, we are the only foster care nonprofit organization that serves kinship and foster families throughout Arizona 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We invite you to consider supporting our work through one or more of the sponsorship opportunities listed below. Thank you for being part of our journey and thank you for giving our community the "Gift of Hope!"

  • Arizona Tax Credits

    The state of Arizona provides a variety of individual tax credits, including the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit ($800/$400), Foster Care Charitable Tax Credit ($1,000/$500), Public School Tax Credit ($400/$200), Original Private School Tax Credit ($1,221/$611), Switcher -Overflow Plus Private School Tax Credit ($1,214/$608) and Military Family Relief Fund ($400/$200). These tax credits allow taxpayers to make charitable contributions and receive dollar-for-dollar reductions in their Arizona state tax liabilities. Note that these tax credits are independent, so taxpayers can take advantage of multiple tax credits on the same tax return. Through the individual tax credits, you can take full advantage of Arizona’s state tax credits, including the ability to combine multiple tax credits and carry forward the tax benefits over five years.
  • Information on Charitable Donations

    Arizona filers can deduct their total charitable donations for the year on their state tax returns regardless of whether you take the standard deduction or itemize on their federal tax returns. A tax credit reduces the amount of money you owe in taxes. For every dollar you give, a dollar you owe the government is subtracted. *Tax credits can only be applied to your tax liability (what you owe), you cannot get cash back for tax credits. Individuals who have pre-paid taxes to the State, either through payroll withholding or quarterly estimated taxes are eligible to receive a refundable tax credit, when they have reduced the taxpayer’s tax liability to below zero. Meaning if the tax liability is reduced below what is owed, then the state of AZ will pay the difference back to the taxpayer in the form of a refund.
  • Information on QCO's & QFCO's

    Arizona provides two separate tax credits for individuals who make contributions to charitable organizations: one for donations to Qualifying Charitable Organizations (QCO), including Jacob’s Mission Community Center and the second for donations to Qualifying Foster Care Charitable Organizations (QFCO), including ASA Now.

    Individuals making cash donations made to these charities may claim these nonrefundable individual income tax credits on their Arizona Personal Income Tax returns.

    QCO's - The maximum allowable credit for contributions to QCOs is $800 for married filing jointly filers or $400 for single, married filing separately, and heads of household filers.

    QFCO's - The maximum credit for contributions to QFCOs is $1,000 for married filing jointly or $500 for single, married filing separately, and heads of household filers.

    These tax credits provide dollar-for-dollar tax benefits, allowing taxpayers to reduce their state tax liabilities for each dollar donated to charities, up to the maximum allowable limits.

    *Credits that are not applied to tax obligations for the current tax year can be carried forward for a period of five consecutive years. You may carry over only that portion of the credit that you do not apply to tax. You cannot carry over any amount that you gave that was more than the maximum allowable limit as a credit in a given year.

    *Claim one or more credits for your gift(s): Arizona Form 321 for gifts to QCOs, and/or Arizona Form 352 for gifts to QFCOs.

    * For example if a single individual owes $2000 in taxes but donates $1000 to ASA Now, and $800 to Jacob’s Mission Community Center, their tax liability is reduced to $200.

  • Please consider making a tax credit contribution to ASA Now and help us continue to serve our most vulnerable population. ASA Now is an Arizona Qualifying Foster Care Charitable Organization (QFCO).

    ASA Now's tax ID is 81-2819648 and our QFCO is 10046.
