Arizona’s single largest day of giving is fast approaching.
At least it’s what many nonprofits hope will be the largest day of giving in the year — Arizona Gives Day, a one-day push by charities and organizations to get their supporters to make some big donations, perhaps enough to keep the nonprofits in the black for the rest of the year.
From midnight to 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday, March 20, Arizona nonprofits who have signed on to the program encourage their supporters to go to the Arizona Gives Day website, find charities which fund causes they care about and make a year’s worth of tax-deductible donations in a single day.
