Be the Reason Someone Finds Help, Hope, and Healing

Every day, survivors of domestic violence and sexual violence, many with young children, take the brave step of seeking safety. But they can’t do it alone. Your gift delivers the support, care, and strength survivors need to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

Here’s how your generosity creates real change:

• $25 gives a survivor access to healing materials and support groups, helping them begin their emotional recovery.

• $50 ensures a family arriving at our emergency shelter doesn’t go to bed hungry on their first night of safety.

• $75 supports an advocate guide a survivor through the process of securing an Order of Protection, a critical step toward long-term safety.

• $100 covers the cost of transportation for a family from remote areas of La Paz County, getting them to safety when they need it most.

• $200 provides a full week of shelter, stability, and support for a family escaping violence.

Every dollar is a lifeline.
When you give, you do more than donate, you show your support by helping offer survivors and their children a second chance at life.

Please give today. Together, we can build a safer, stronger, and more compassionate community.

Colorado River Regional Crisis Services is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and has been serving La Paz County since 1997. Donations are fully tax-deductible.

The state of Arizona allows taxpayers to receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for donations to the Colorado River Regional Crisis Services.

What is the difference between a tax credit and a tax deduction? A tax credit is applied as a reduction to your tax bill. In this case, the credit comes off the top of your state tax bill, lowering the amount of money that you must pay. In addition to the state tax credit, your gift can be taken as a deduction on your federal taxes.

How do I qualify? You must itemize charitable contributions on your tax return.

If you have questions regarding this tax credit, please consult your tax advisor or contact the Arizona Department of Revenue at (602) 255-3381. You may also read about this tax credit on-line at the Arizona Department of Revenue website. Below is the link.
