Make Your Taxes Count: The Arizona Charitable Tax Credit

Did you know you can choose where some of your Arizona tax dollars go?
Instead of sending them all to the government, you can direct them to a cause that’s close to your heart, right here at Silver Lining Riding.

It’s Not a Deduction — It’s a Dollar-for-Dollar Credit

A common misconception is that the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit is a deduction.
But it’s actually a dollar-for-dollar credit.

That means if you owe $500 in Arizona state taxes and donate $500 to a qualifying nonprofit, you’ll receive a $500 credit toward your state tax bill.
It’s not a write-off, it’s a credit.

Silver Lining Riding is proud to be an Arizona Qualifying Charitable Organization (QCO #20899).

At Silver Lining, we help people overcome life’s obstacles through equine interaction.
Our adaptive riding and groundwork programs build confidence, independence, and joy for individuals with disabilities, veterans, and first responders.

Your Gift Makes an Immediate Impact

When you give through the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit, your donation stays local — directly supporting:

  • The care and feeding of our hardworking therapy horses

  • Scholarships for riders and families in need

  • Program materials and adaptive equipment

  • Growth of our veteran and first responder programs

How Much Can You Give?

You can donate up to $470 as an individual or $938 as a married couple and receive every dollar back on your Arizona state tax return.
It’s one of the easiest ways to make a difference without spending more than you already owe in taxes!

Everyone’s situation is unique, so be sure to talk with your tax professional to learn how the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit can benefit you.
