Empowering Arizona Communities 

For more than a decade, we've partnered with nonprofits across Arizona to build communities where every person can reach their full potential through investments in youth, education, and human services programs.

​

To date, we've awarded nearly 2,000 grants and scholarships across Arizona, totaling more than $73 million, fueling youth programming, education supports at every stage of learning, human services organizations advancing community wellbeing, and nonprofit capacity building and leadership development.

"The most rewarding aspect of the work we do is getting to know the many unique communities across Arizona, learning about each of their distinct strengths and varying needs, and understanding that philanthropy can have a positive impact in communities both large and small."
