Did you know you can impact the lives of children and seniors by redirecting your state taxes? As you start to prepare for your 2024 taxes, Tender Little Hearts Mini Tales is an Arizona Qualifying Charitable Organization (QCO). Your Arizona Charitable Tax Credit donation allows you to redirect taxes for what matters to you for a dollar-for-dollar credit on your Arizona income taxes, up to $470 (filing single return) or $938 (filing joint return). A tax credit is different than a tax deduction because it is an actual credit against your income tax liability. Help us, help kids and seniors, help you. It’s a win-win-win and allows YOU to choose how your tax dollars are allocated.

Tender Little Hearts is a diverse 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to providing miniature horse and donkey assisted opportunities to children and adults. We are a 100% volunteer based nonprofit organization and 100% of funding goes directly to our programs and care of our miniature horses and donkeys, the very heart of Tender Little Hearts.

Tender Little Hearts Mini Tales brings reading opportunities to those who would benefit from the interaction with our nonjudgmental equines. By using our miniature therapy horses and donkeys to encourage readers, we provide a safe, empowering environment to spur on literacy growth.
As therapy animals, they touch the lives and hearts of those most in need. They can offer therapeutic comfort, joyfulness, empowerment, boost self-esteem, give unconditional love, provide emotional confidence and confidentiality in their interactions as well as many other therapeutic benefits.

We hope you will donate and utilize Arizona’s state tax credits to control how a portion of your tax dollars are spent. When you’re evaluating charitable organizations, please consider Tender Little Hearts Mini Tales and the mighty impact our miniature equines have on children and seniors in Arizona.

Making friends, warming hearts, sharing smiles and spreading joy, one tender little heart at a time.
