Provides fiscal sponsorship, fiscal management, grant application assistance, accounting, and capacity-building services to nonprofit projects in Arizona to strengthen organizational capacity and advance community health and education.
Technical Assistance Partnership of Arizona combines fiscal sponsorship with grant administration and accounting support for Arizona nonprofit projects, and that operational role shows up in its grantmaking. Recent grants include $359,280 to the Department of Child Safety in Phoenix for program support and $218,828 to Peer and Family Career Academy in Buckeye for program support, alongside recurring support for projects tied to child welfare, aging, food access, disability inclusion, and community health. The foundation’s funded work is tightly linked to Arizona-based organizations and projects, with awards often directed to groups that are building or sustaining services rather than launching one-time campaigns. A second pattern is the way the foundation backs organizations serving specific populations. It has funded Three Precious Miracles in Sacaton to support families of Native American children who are displaced, Special Olympics Arizona in Goodyear to support athletes with intellectual disabilities, and House of Refuge Inc in Mesa for transitional housing for families. That mix suggests a funder oriented toward practical organizational support and targeted service delivery within Arizona communities. The recent record also includes support for research and awareness efforts around electromagnetic fields and Alzheimer’s disease, showing that the foundation funds both direct services and issue-based work.
Child welfare appears prominently in the foundation’s recent grants. It gave $359,280 to the Department of Child Safety in Phoenix for program support, and $64,013 to the same agency in 2025 to engage children and families to ensure safety and strengthen families. It also awarded $135,753 to Arizona Adverse Childhood Experiences Consortium Inc in Kingman for program support. Older-adult and dementia-related work is another clear area. Technical Assistance Partnership of Arizona granted $75,000 to Duet Partners in Health and Aging Inc in Phoenix to develop older adult resources, then made additional grants of $20,000 and $11,456 to Banner Alzheimer's Foundation in Phoenix to support awareness to end Alzheimer’s disease. It also funded Arizona Caregiver Coalition Inc and Hospice of the Valley in Phoenix. The foundation has also supported health-related research and family stability. Electromagnetic Safety Alliance in Tucson received $100,000 and $50,000 for research connected to the International Commission on Biological Effects of Electromagnetic Fields, while House of Refuge Inc in Mesa received $24,778 for transitional housing for families.

Typical grant size sits at $11,978 at the 25th percentile, $24,778 at the median, and $69,306 at the 75th percentile. The recent record includes both large program-support awards and smaller operating-style grants, suggesting a broad range of checks within a local portfolio. Several organizations appear more than once across the available years, including Department of Child Safety, Electromagnetic Safety Alliance, Human-animal Connection, Banner Alzheimer's Foundation, Duet Partners in Health and Aging Inc, Kyah Rayne Foundation, and Arizona-based aging and family-service groups. The foundation also offers three Arizona-focused support modes: grant-specific fiscal sponsorship, comprehensive fiscal sponsorship, and fiscal agency for accounting and finance services. All three accept unsolicited requests.
Grantmaking is overwhelmingly Arizona-centered, with 94% of grants going to recipients in the HQ state. The recent grants list places awards in Phoenix, Tucson, Tempe, Mesa, Scottsdale, Goodyear, Buckeye, Kingman, and Sacaton. Phoenix appears most often among named recipient cities, but the reach is statewide rather than limited to one metro area. Outside Arizona, one recent grant went to Cancer Support Community in Washington, DC, and one to Alzheimers Association in Columbus, Ohio; the recipient country distribution is otherwise entirely U.S.-based.
It supports Arizona nonprofit projects and established 501(c)(3) organizations that need fiscal sponsorship, fiscal management, accounting, or capacity-building support. Recent grants also show backing for child safety, older-adult services, housing, disability inclusion, food-related work, and research projects in Arizona.
The typical grant size is $11,978 at the 25th percentile, $24,778 at the median, and $69,306 at the 75th percentile. The recent awards range from smaller grants such as $8,917 to larger awards such as $359,280.
Its grantmaking is local, and 94% of grants go to recipients in Arizona. The recent record includes a small number of grants outside the state, including recipients in Washington, DC, and Columbus, Ohio.
The listed focus areas include Access to Care and Coverage, Affordable Quality Housing, Community Safety, Economic Opportunity, Educational Opportunity, Environmental Quality, Healthy Community Design, Parks and Recreational Opportunities, Quality Affordable Food, Social and Cultural Cohesion, Social Justice, and Transportation Options.
It offers grant-specific fiscal sponsorship, comprehensive fiscal sponsorship, and fiscal agency services. All three Arizona programs accept unsolicited requests, and the comprehensive model makes the project a program of the foundation with full legal and fiduciary responsibility.
