ARIZONA FOSTER CARE TAX CREDIT
The Arizona Foster Care Tax Credit allows you to direct where your tax dollars go. As a Qualifying Foster Care Organization, the Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation uses your donations to help Janie take gymnastics classes, to connect Zack to resources that will help his transition from foster care to adulthood and to help Roxanne pay for her college education.

We’re proud to say that $.89 of every dollar donated is spent to enrich the life experiences and ensure the successful transition to adulthood of children and youth in foster care. AFFCF also holds the GuideStar Platinum Seal of Transparency and is a Charity Navigator Four-Star Charity, so you can rest assured that your donation will be well spent.

The best news…you can still donate to AFFCF and take the credit on your 2021 Arizona state taxes. Don’t wait…the deadline to do so is April 15, 2022.
MEET THE BOARD
Rick Rentschler has been a member of the AFFCF board of directors since 2011 and is a past chair of the board. We asked him what he has learned about foster care during his tenure:

"For over a decade, I have been on the board of AFFCF and I continually learn about foster care. One of the first things I learned was that siblings could be separated when they enter foster care. Having a brother, I can only imagine how difficult that must be. I also learned that with the support of AFFCF and the community, an incredibly difficult situation can be met with a positive outcome. I am constantly humbled by the generosity of AFFCF staff, donors and volunteers and what a tremendous impact they have on these kids."
