Arizona Gives Day is a bit of a spring tradition. Since 2013, that state has come together to pour a little love into the community and “invest in Arizona” by donating to local non-profits.
In previous years, Arizona Gives Day has raised a total of $4.5 million dollars. This year, organizers are aiming to raise $3 million in 24 hours.
Grab your wallet and find a non-profit making Arizona a better place. If you need some inspiration, read up about some of Tucson’s (many) wonderful organizations: I found TW stories about non-profits here, here and here but tell us about the people and places you love to support in the comments.

I’m getting about 8 emails an hour today … every worthy non-profit we’ve supported in the past is on a rampage for AZ Gives Day. Cease and desist.
I have donated so much year round that they don’t even bother me on the days when they try to motivate the greedy ones.
