CONTRIBUTE TO THE ARIZONA PROJECT FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM
A 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION
Becoming a corporation recognized by the State of Arizona has several benefits. First, it provides a level of credibility as a non-profit organization. Incorporating takes time, effort, and money, and shows that we are an organization to be taken seriously. Second, it provides legitimacy with regards to fund raising, donations, and fiscal management. Third, it provides protections for key individuals in the organization such that liability shifts from individual members to the corporation as a whole. Finally, incorporating allows us to take advantage of benefits offered specifically to corporations, such as bulk mailing permits and corporate rates from many vendors. We have chosen to incorporate as a non-profit 501(c)(3).
FINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY
The Arizona Project for Criminal Justice Reform complies fully with federal and state charitable solicitation requirements and is a 501(c)(3) organization, gifts to which may be deductible as charitable contributions for federal and state income tax purposes.
