Tomorrow April 2 is Arizona Gives Day, for people across the world to donate to Arizona non-profits. In 2018, $3.2 million was raised.
“Since 2013, Arizona Gives Day has helped organizations raised more than $13.4 million to benefit Arizona and the communities we all live, work and play. We want to continue building upon this spirit of philanthropy, but support from local media is crucial if we’re going to reach our goal.
Why is local media’s help so important? In 2017, 65 percent of donors said the day prompted them to give a donation they otherwise would not have given. With your help, we can reach more potential donors and raise even more funding for nonprofits. And remember, every dollar donated is a dollar invested in the future of Arizona.”
Tucson non-profits such as Watershed Management Group and Humane Society of Southern Arizona are usually the ones who received thousands of donations. 178 worthy non-profits are listed for Pima County, and you can access the list alphabetically.

Thanks for commenting.
I understand that many of the charities that benefit from the donations are worthwhile and deserve support I think it is a horrible idea to turn over the appropriating of AZ state revenues to individual taxpayers. The practice is made even more objectionable when some of the recipients have fixed maximum donation limits while others have annual increases based on the CPI. Time to revisit the whole system!
