Through April 15, 2010
There
were 34,989 reported cases of child abuse affecting over 66,000 children in the
state of Arizona last year. If you
think there’s nothing you can do about it, think again. On your Arizona State Income Tax Form,
you can contribute to the “Child Abuse Prevention Fund”. The money you
contribute goes directly to support programs to keep children safe. For every dollar spent on prevention
services, six to ten dollars is saved in social costs. It’s important for individual taxpayers
to know they have the ability to prevent child abuse by making a donation to
the fund on their tax form.
If
you have any questions about the Child Abuse Prevention Fund, please call Wendy
Shepherd at 623-986-3987.
