Yes, United Way of Northern Arizona is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and as such your donation is 100% tax deductible. Our tax ID is 86-0211666. This includes donations to the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit/Working Poor.
Because your charitable donations come out of your after-tax earnings, you may deduct the total amount deducted from your payroll checks during the year on the “Gifts to Charity” line of your Schedule A if you choose to itemize instead of claiming the standard deduction. If your employer matches your payroll donation, you cannot deduct any of the matched donation — only your employer can deduct that portion of the charitable gift.
United Way of Northern Arizona prides itself on being a trustworthy and accountable organization. A volunteer committee of financial experts meets year-round, monitoring the organization’s financial position. We maintain high standards of operation and are reviewed each year by an independent auditor, who verifies that our financial statements fairly present the financial position of United Way of Northern Arizona.
United Way of Northern Arizona is only able to accept certain kinds of personal and real property gifts. Please see our Gift Acceptance Policy for more information.

Research shows that the most effective way to build a healthier generation of young people is to focus on developing healthy habits during childhood, instead of trying to correct unhealthy behaviors later on in life.
That’s why we are United in Purpose in supporting programs and initiatives that promote healthy bodies and healthy minds at United Way of Northern Arizona.
Here are a handful of the programs that your donation dollars to UWNA make possible:
🍎A healthy lifestyles initiative through the Boys & Girls Club that serves 325 school-aged youth from Kindergarten through grade 12 in Flagstaff, Winslow, and Holbrook.
🌲Funding from UWNA makes it possible for financial aid so that students in Coconino, Navajo, and Apache counties can take part in Grand Canyon Youth’s outdoor expeditions.
👟UWNA Funding also makes the Girls on the Run program available to dozens of lower-income girls in Flagstaff in grades 3 through 8.
