As we reflect on our last fiscal year, which came to a close in March, we are filled with gratitude for the nonprofit partners who show up every day to build a stronger, more prosperous, and vibrant Arizona. The year presented significant challenges to Arizona nonprofits, but it also brought remarkable resilience. Across our state, organizations found new ways to meet growing demand, stretch their resources, and deepen their commitment to the communities they serve. The year marked our most significant year of giving, with grants totaling $21.5 million to nearly 250 organizations across 13 Arizona counties in support of people and programs throughout the state. We are deeply honored to work alongside the nonprofits, leaders, and communities who share our belief in a brighter future for all Arizonans.


In this newsletter, we're shining a light on two priorities at the heart of that future: early childhood development and community health. From programs helping young children build the foundation for a lifetime of learning, to organizations bringing essential health services to rural communities across the state, these partners reflect the best of what Arizona's nonprofit community has to offer.
