In a world where community spirit can often wane, the November Community Fund serves as a poignant reminder of the power of togetherness. This newsletter dives into our mission and how residents can uplift their neighbors during challenging times.
Understanding the Need for Community Support
Amid rising costs and economic uncertainty, many families in our Arizona neighborhoods find themselves in dire circumstances. The November Community Fund aims to bridge the gap for those in need by rallying local support. Last year, we raised $190,528 in donations, but the fund distributed a staggering $286,000 in assistance—showing just how vital community contributions can be. The figures speak for themselves: despite our best efforts, there remains an urgent need for more donations to ensure that we can continue to support those who rely on us most.
The Power of Your Dollar: Tax Benefits for Donors
One of the most compelling reasons to donate to the Community Fund this November is the tax credit incentive offered by the state of Arizona. For every dollar contributed, residents can claim a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on their state taxes, making your generous contribution even more valuable. Essentially, it leads to double the impact: you give to your community and reduce your tax liability at the same time. It’s a win-win situation that empowers residents to make a meaningful difference.
Encouraging Ongoing Support: Carryover Donations
Did you know that if you exceed the annual donation limit, you can carry over your contributions into future years? This feature encourages sustained commitment to community initiatives, enabling donors to continue helping as their capacity allows. It's a perfect way to engage with the Community Fund and maximize your impact over time.
Secure Donations for Maximum Impact
Making a donation is simple and secure. You can contribute online through our website or send a check directly to our office. Whether you give a little or a lot, every bit counts towards creating a robust support system for those struggling in our community. Together, we can amplify the resources available to our neighbors and ensure that no one faces hardship alone.
The Ripple Effect of Giving Back
When you donate to the Community Fund, you're not just giving money—you're investing in the fabric of your community. Your contribution resonates beyond immediate financial support. It restores hope, enables families to access essential services, and promotes resilience within our neighborhoods. Imagine the stories that unfold because of your generosity: A child receiving school supplies, a family avoiding eviction, or an elderly resident receiving much-needed assistance. Your actions lay the groundwork for many positive transformations.
Conclusion: Join Us in Making a Difference
As we navigate through these challenging times, the November Community Fund invites you to be part of a larger mission. Your involvement is crucial. By donating, spreading the word, or encouraging friends and family to join the cause, you can help us make a substantial impact. Remember, every contribution counts—big or small—when it comes to supporting our community. Let’s harness the spirit of giving this November and pave the way for a brighter future together.
