Arizona provides two separate tax credits for individuals who make contributions to charitable organizations: one for donations to Qualifying Charitable Organizations (QCO) and the second for donations to Qualifying Foster Care Charitable Organizations (QFCO).
The amount of the credit is $25 for each resident of Arizona and for whom a personal or dependent exemption is allowed on the Arizona return. For example, if taxpayers are married filing jointly, they may claim a credit of $25 for themselves, their spouse, and $25 each for up to two dependents.

Donation receipts, or donation tax receipts, provide official documentation of a gift made by a donor. Often written in the form of an acknowledgment letter, they let the donor know that their donation has been received and allow the nonprofit to express its gratitude.
Getting a receipt every time you donate strengthens your tax records if you are audited. If you make a large donation and don't have (or can't find) the receipt, the donation will almost certainly be disallowed on audit. For this reason, it's best to set up a record-keeping system at the start of each year.
Typically, they are only necessary for people who make donations of $250 or more. Nonprofit or charitable organizations typically create donation invoices after they've processed incoming donations. These organizations then send the donation invoices back to their donors.
