Wednesday, March 20, could be a big day for Arizona’s nonprofits. It’s Arizona Gives Day, an event which aims to encourage Arizonans to make donations to as many nonprofits as possible in 24 hours.

On March 20, from midnight to 11:59 p.m., Arizona nonprofits will encourage their supporters to go to the Arizona Gives Day website, find the causes they care about and make a year’s worth of tax-deductible donations in a single day.

“People, hopefully people who have never given to a nonprofit before would be encouraged to give on that one day, for that period on March 20,” said Margie Beach, director of Communications and Community Relations for Rainbow Acres, a nonprofit ranch for adults with developmental disabilities located in Camp Verde.
