Ways to support GiGi's Playhouse Phoenix
Any donation you make to GiGi's Playhouse Phoenix is classified as an Arizona Qualifying Charitable Organization, so your donation of up to $470 single, married filing separate or head of household; $938 if filing jointly, is a tax credit, so you could potentially get it back dollar for dollar on your Arizona Personal Income Tax returns. This does not affect your ability to claim your Arizona Public School Tax Credit. GiGi’s QCO code is 20808.
The maximum QCO credit donation amount for 2025:
$495 single, married filing separate or head of household; $987 married filing jointly.
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.
