Project Description
Our story…
Our inspiration—
Patty Neroni
1958-1992
Our founders, the late Honorable Paul R. Donaldson and his wife, Kathleen, made a promise to her dying sister to “do a good deed each day without taking credit for it.” Becoming a nonprofit organization in 1998, Arizona Helping Hands has served tens of thousands of needy children.

ARIZONA FOSTER CARE TAX CREDIT
Recurring Donation
Arizona Helping Hands is a qualifying Foster Care Charitable Organization.
A DOLLAR-FOR-DOLLAR CREDIT
It comes right off the top of your Arizona taxes!
NO NEED TO ITEMIZE!
Any Arizona taxpayer can take advantage of the tax credit.
TAKE ALL THE CREDITS!
You can take the Foster Care + Charitable (formerly working poor) + Public School + Private School Tuition tax credits.
Arizona Helping Hands provides basic needs together with love and encouragement to children in foster care.
Your gift* will provide beds, hygiene kits, clothing, diapers, birthday dreams and more!
*Foster tax credit limits are $1,000 for married filing jointly, $500 for single taxpayers.
CHANGE A LIFE TODAY
As long as children are abused and neglected, and as long as drug and alcohol addictions riddle our society, there will be a need for foster care. Whether you need a hand or want to lend one, get in touch.
Together we can make a difference.
