Questions About Donations
Can I Donate if I Don't Pay Arizona Taxes?
Yes! We welcome donations of any amount from all donors. Every dollar donated helps support foster, adoptive, and kinship families. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization so donations to us may be claimed as such on your federal taxes. (*Please consult your tax professional for more personalized advice) Only those individuals paying Arizona State Income Tax may claim the AZ Tax Credit.
Do You Accept Corporate Donations?
Absolutely! Corporate donors are also very much appreciated. Although businesses are not able to claim a Tax Credit for their donation, Jose's Closet is a 501(c)3 non-profit, and we rely on the support we get from all our generous sponsors.
If your corporation is interested in holding a volunteer event with Jose's Closet, please contact us.
If your corporation offers matching of employee donations, please contact us. We will gladly schedule a brief presentation if desired, and provide informational brochures to your employees.
Can I Claim My Donated Items as a Tax Credit?
We appreciate donations of gently used items, but these cannot be claimed for the Arizona Tax Credit. However, they are considered a donation to a 501(c)3 non-profit, and may be treated as such for federal tax purposes. (Please consult your tax professional for more personalized advice.)
Does My Donation Have To Be Made As One Large Payment For Tax Credit?
No. You can make several donations throughout the year, and all are eligible to claim as Tax Credit - until you meet your limit. Donations do not have to be made in one lump sum.
Can I Wait Until I Do My Taxes To Make a Tax Credit Donation?
Yes! After you calculate the amount owed to Arizona for your personal State Income Tax is a great time to make a donation. You will know how much tax liability you have, and can determine your donation accordingly. Be sure your donation gets to us prior to April 15th for it to count as a donation in the prior tax year. (See donation periods above.)
Do You Send Receipts for Financial Donations?
Yes. Donation receipts for financial contributions are sent via email if you have provided an email address. If no email address was given, we will send a receipt to the mailing address. If you aren't sure we have your information, please send us an email at donate@josescloset.org with your information, and we will work with you to provide a receipt.
When donating items to our resource center, donation receipts are available on-site. Donors may complete their receipts with the details, such as fair market value, of their donation for tax purposes.
