Community Assistance Teams of Flagstaff
When you live without a home, your home is your community. Unsheltered community members need our compassion and assistance. C.A.Ts staff reaches out to those in need where they are-on the streets. Donations allow us to provide basic hygiene, food, clean clothes and a friendly face plus referrals and encouragement to help those in need. More than just a hand out, we offer programs where those experiencing homelessness get employment cleaning up Flagstaff's litter, bike clinics and free bikes, and a woodworking shop where new skills are learned and practiced. Help us help our neighbors in need live a healthier, happier and more fulfilling life.

This individual income tax credit is available for contributions to Qualifying Charitable Organizations that provide immediate basic needs to residents of Arizona who receive temporary assistance for needy families (TANF) benefits, are low income residents of Arizona, or are individuals who have a chronic illness or physical disability. The tax credit is claimed on Form 321.

Please Note: Arizona law allows QCO donations made during 2024 or donations made from January 1, 2025 through April 15, 2025 to be claimed on the 2024 Arizona income tax return. The maximum credit that can be claimed on the 2024 Arizona return for donations made to QCO's is $470 for single, married filing separate or head of household taxpayers, and $938 for married filing joint taxpayers. If a taxpayer makes a QCO donation from January 1, 2025 through April 15, 2025 and wants to claim the higher 2025 maximum credit amount, the taxpayer will need to claim the credit on the 2025 Arizona return filed in 2026.
