Your donations may qualify you for an Arizona State Charitable Tax Credit

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” ~Luke 6:38

If you give a gift to the Phoenix Rescue Mission by December 31, 2012, it may be given right back to you after you file your Arizona State taxes.

Through the Arizona State Charitable Tax Credit also known as the Arizona Working Poor Tax Credit, you can give a tax-free gift and help provide meals and care to those who are hungry and homeless in our community. If you itemize your tax return, your donation to Phoenix Rescue Mission may qualify you for a dollar-for-dollar tax credit. Just donate to the Mission before December 31, 2012. The Phoenix Rescue Mission will send you a receipt of your gift by mail. Then, when you file your Arizona States tax return, you can receive a tax credit of up to $400 when filing a joint return or $200 when filing an individual return (using form 321)*. Best of all, you will be helping to feed and clothe men, women and children who rely on the Mission’s services to make ends meet.

Your end-of-year gift will help us close the gap on the unprecedented demand for our services. Would you please make an online gift today? If you have already donated, please forward this email to a friend so they too can take advantage of the Charitable Tax Credit.

As 2012 comes to a close, we humbly thank you for your faithful support of those we serve at the Phoenix Rescue Mission. Your generosity is helping change lives year-round!

May God Bless You,
Jay Cory
President & CEO
