The Great Arizona Work Challenge

St. Joseph the Worker's Back to Work Initiative & Arizona Charitable Tax Credit Challenge

Turn your taxes into paychecks and win big while you're at it!

Did you know your Arizona Charitable Tax Credit can directly change lives? By redirecting your state taxes to St. Joseph the Worker, you help people overcome barriers like poverty, prior incarceration, and lack of transportation—connecting them to quality jobs, stable housing, and the tools to thrive. Join us and put your dollars to work building a stronger community.

And now, there’s even more reason to give:

• Get a free State Forty Eight t-shirt with your qualifying donation

• Compete for amazing prizes—awarded to the top three fundraisers

It costs you nothing extra. But the impact? Life-changing because a job is more than a paycheck, it's the first step toward independence and stability.

Arizona Tax Credits available to be used in the same tax year:

• Qualifying Charitable Orgs: $495 single / $987 joint  (this is St. Joseph the Worker QCO Code: 20248)
• Qualifying Foster Care Charitable Orgs: $618 single / $1,234 joint
• Public School Tax Credit: $200 single / $400 joint
• Private School Tuition Tax Credit: $1,535 single / $3,062 joint

Work works—and your tax credit makes it possible.

Your Dollars at Work

Getting back to work takes more than motivation—it takes support.

At The Worker, we provide personalized, one-on-one guidance to help individuals prepare for and land quality jobs. From professional resumes and interview coaching to direct connections with employers, we walk alongside every client on their journey to employment.

A key part of that transformation? Our Job Readiness Kits.

These kits equip job seekers with the essential tools to walk into an interview with confidence and show up ready to succeed on day one:

• Interview-ready clothing

• Work shoes or uniforms

• Hygiene essentials

• A bus pass to get there

When combined with expert support and job placement services, these basics become the launching pad for long-term stability.

• $495 equips 5 individuals with the tools and support they need to secure quality employment.

• $987 equips 10 individuals with the tools and support they need to secure quality employment.

Join us—and be the reason someone gets back on their feet, and back to work.
