About Support Arizona Youth

Support Arizona Youth (SAY) is the annual campaign for our organization and Executive Council Charities SAY LLC is an approved umbrella organization for the Arizona Tax Credit for both Qualifying Charities (QC) and Qualifying Foster Care Charities (QFCC). Donors may be eligible for up to an $2,111 tax credit for joint filers and $1,057 tax credit for single filers and 100% of donations are forwarded on to qualifying charities. You can select “Highest Need” to have the greatest impact or indicate a preference for a specific qualified charity.

Direct Your Tax Dollars

Make a brighter future for nearly 100,000 local youth through SAY!

Arizona tax law allows those who donate through a qualifying umbrella organization like Executive Council Charities SAY, LLC to receive a maximum tax credit of $938 for joint filers and $470 for single filers (or married filing separately) when contributions are directed to Qualifying Charities and an additional maximum tax credit of $1,173 for joint filers and $587 for single filers (or married filing separately) when contributions are directed to Qualifying Foster Care Charities.

Total tax credits (charitable, foster care, school and military) cannot exceed total Arizona tax liability. Neither ECC nor SAY have provided any legal or tax advice.

How it Works

Anyone who pays Arizona income tax may be eligible for the tax credit.

You do not have to itemize to qualify.

These tax credits are independent from the Public & Private School Tax Credits – you can take advantage of all of them!
