Monetary Donations
Tax Credit!
By making a donation to the Lodestar Day Resource Center, you will not only be helping those living in poverty, but you also may be able to obtain a dollar-for-dollar tax credit toward your Arizona state tax obligation. Single qualifiers may qualify for up to $200 and married couples filing jointly may qualify for a tax credit up to $400. Tax credits are available, based on your income tax filing status. LDRC is not a tax advisor. As with any financial recommendation, contact a qualified tax professional for expert advice on your specific tax situation.
