Hi Everyone- This Peloton was an in-kind donation to Unity Salsa and all proceeds will go directly to support our mission. This is a great deal for a great cause!

As many of you know, Unity Salsa serves individuals in recovery and those experiencing homelessness, here in Arizona.

What you may not know is that Arizona allows you to support this work at no cost to you.

You can donate up to:
$495 (single)
$987 (married)

And receive it back as a dollar-for-dollar AZ state tax credit.

You’re not giving extra money.
You’re choosing where your state taxes go.

If you owe, you owe less.
If you’re getting a refund, you get more back.

Redirect your AZ taxes at UnitySalsa.org

Today was extra special at . Peter Oliver has been a long-time community member and he is always dancing to the music and getting the energy going in front of the DJ booth. Today was the first time we saw him a while, and he shared he has been having a tough time recently. We offered him a backpack bed, and his whole demeanor changed. When asked what he thought about the backpack bed he said “I’m excited, overjoyed, and happy, and hope no one ever takes it away from me. I want to keep it until the day I die!” He was beyond grateful to have a comfortable place to sleep at night! We typically do not post pictures of our clients, for the sake of privacy. But Peter Oliver was so excited and wanted us to share this photo online to show his gratitude.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped contribute to this campaign! You helped us purchase 24 backpack beds this season— half of which have already been distributed to the homeless by us and through partner organizations. We are grateful for the Unity Salsa Community! Nos curamos con la rumba!

🎉 Happy New Year from Unity Salsa! 🎉

Huge thank-you to ._finesse for opening his home and hosting such a wonderful event, and to everyone who came out to dance, connect, and support our mission. We’re also grateful to for bringing great music and great energy all night — it was an incredible way to welcome the new year together. 💃🕺

Because of your generosity, we are thrilled to share that we met our 2025 fundraising goal for Backpack Beds for the Homeless! This means we will be able to purchase and distribute 24 temporary convertible backpack-to-shelter units to individuals experiencing homelessness in our local community. Your support truly helps us bring hope and happiness to those who need it most. ❤️

As a reminder, all Unity Salsa event tickets and donations qualify for the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit as a Qualifying Charitable Organization (QCO). This is a dollar-for-dollar credit toward your Arizona state income tax liability (up to the allowable limits).

For 2025, supporters may give up to:
• $495 — Single or Head of Household
• $987 — Married Filing Jointly

You can make your tax-credit contribution any time between now and Tax Day in April 2026 (or until you file your 2025 AZ return — whichever comes first). To learn more or review our FAQs about the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit, please visit our website. We encourage you to consider giving your AZ Tax Credit to Unity Salsa this season — it doesn’t cost you a penny out-of-pocket and goes a long way in helping us support individuals in need through music and dance. 🎶❤️

It’s Giving Tuesday, and every donation to our Winter Warmth Drive is being matched dollar-for-dollar up to $1,500 — doubling your impact today. ❤️

Our biggest focus this season is providing Backpack Beds for the people we serve. These weatherproof, fire-resistant emergency sleeping systems offer warmth, safety, and dignity for individuals living on the streets.

With donations so far, we’ve already been able to purchase 4 Backpack Beds, and our goal is to purchase 24 total. We’re also using funds to buy winter jackets, sleeping bags, and other warmth essentials that make an immediate difference for the people we support each week.

And don’t forget — Unity Salsa qualifies for the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit, which means your donation may be eligible for a dollar-for-dollar credit on your state taxes.

If you want your gift to go twice as far, today is the perfect day to give.
Donate at UnitySalsa.org or through the link in bio.

Thank you for helping us bring warmth, safety, and hope to our community. 🫶
