What your donation provides:

Calling all early tax preparers!

Did you know you can make multiple AZ tax credit contributions?

This means you can make a Public School Tax Credit AND a Charitable Tax Credit!

Please consider directing your AZ Charitable Tax Credits to El Grupo!

Do you typically get a tax refund? Do you pay taxes in the state of Arizona? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you can make a tax-credit contribution. The Charitable Tax Credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction on your tax liability (what you owe). That means your tax money goes directly to El Grupo. As long as your total liability is larger than the credit you claim, you will receive the full amount back in your Arizona state tax return.

Who: Anyone who files taxes in AZ

What: AZ Charitable Tax Credits to El Grupo

When (deadline): April 15, 2024

With your support, El Grupo empowers youth through bicycles. In our six different afterschool programs, youth ages 7-18 years old develop both bike and life skills. The programs provide positive youth development using bicycles as a vehicle, literally and figuratively, to teach self-trust, communication skills, and goal-setting skills. Participating with El Grupo, youth not only learn how to navigate streets - they learn how to effectively navigate the world.

El Grupo focuses on serving youth and families, especially those who do not have access to a bicycle and/or come from a cycling family. This population is important to us because our mission is centered on economic equity. Regardless of socioeconomic background, youth have access to bicycles and their transformative power.

Your support helps to keep our programs accessible to all socioeconomic background youth in Tucson.
