Creating Community in Tucson
Supporting the J
The J is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization who relies heavily on the support of the community to help provide the highest quality programs and services in a safe and secure environment for all people of all ages. Through community support we are able to provide more than $800,000 in scholarships each year for critical care services like early childhood education, summer camp, and special needs services, as well as provide our community with high-quality facilities and program content. By giving to the J you are helping meet the community’s needs through all we have to offer. Thank you in advance for your commitment to the J!

Current Campaigns
Please consider making a gift in support of the many programs and initiatives of the J.
Send a Kid to Camp
Fund a scholarship to send a kid to camp and help us provide Tucson’s children with an experience they’ll never forget! Camp helps kids retain information between school years, develop important social skills, and become leaders in their communities.
AZ Tax Credit
The Arizona Tax Credit program allows you to receive a dollar-for-dollar tax credit on your Arizona state income taxes when you give to The J! Arizona allows you to take three types of tax credits, including one for organizations like ours. Through this tax credit program, money you would otherwise pay in taxes will benefit your neighbors right here in Southern Arizona.
