Coffee, Cause & Credits: Turn Your Arizona Tax Dollars into Local Impact
Phoenix, AZ – January 7, 2026
At New Pathways for Youth, we believe informed generosity changes lives. When people understand how their resources can be used wisely, entire communities benefit. That belief is at the heart of our upcoming event, Coffee, Cause & Credits, a free, educational gathering designed to help you make the most of the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit while directly supporting youth and families right here in our community.
Arizona offers one of the most powerful charitable giving tools in the country: a dollar-for-dollar tax credit that allows you to redirect a portion of your state tax liability to qualified nonprofits like New Pathways for Youth. Yet many eligible taxpayers either don’t know it exists or aren’t sure how to use it correctly. This session is about changing that.
Over coffee, we’ll walk through the essentials, clearly, practically, and without jargon, so you can give to local causes you care about with confidence and purpose.
What You’ll Learn at Coffee, Cause & Credits
During this session, participants will learn about:
- How the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit works, including eligibility and contribution limits
- How to make a charitable gift that earns a dollar-for-dollar tax credit
- Ways to keep your tax dollars local, strengthening nonprofits that serve Arizona communities
- Recent changes to the federal tax laws and how they may impact you
Whether you’re new to the tax credit or looking to be more strategic with your giving, this session will give you the knowledge you need to act with intention.
Expert Guidance You Can Trust
The session will be led by Brock Yates, Board Member of New Pathways for Youth and a Principal with Baker Tilly’s private wealth tax practice. With more than a decade of experience advising individuals and entities on complex tax matters, Brock brings both technical expertise and a deep understanding of responsible, impact-driven philanthropy.
His guidance will focus on how to stay compliant with Arizona tax laws while making choices that align with your values—and maximize the good your dollars can do.
Why This Matters
For New Pathways for Youth, the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit is more than a financial mechanism; it’s a pathway to stability, mentorship, and opportunity for young people navigating adversity. Contributions made through the tax credit help sustain our programs, support long-term mentoring relationships, and ensure youth and their families have access to the support systems they deserve.
We invite you to join us for Coffee, Cause & Credits to learn, ask questions, and discover how a small shift in where your tax dollars go can make a lasting difference.
