We harness the collective generosity of thousands of Arizonans to improve the quality of life in Arizona by bringing generous donors together to invest in communities across our state.
Arizona Community Foundation’s recent giving includes some very large commitments, such as $10,020,000 to Cape Cod Healthcare Foundation for program support and $10,000,000 to PEN America for program support. Those grants sit alongside a broad portfolio that reaches from health and education to arts, land conservation, and civic work. The foundation’s pattern is not limited to Arizona organizations: it has also backed national groups including National Public Radio, Robert F Kennedy Human Rights, and International Medical Corps. At the same time, Arizona recipients remain a major part of the portfolio. Arizona State University Foundation appears multiple times in the recent grants list, and Phoenix-area organizations such as Barrow Neurological Foundation, Hospice of the Valley, Valley of the Sun United Way, and Human Services Campus Inc all received support. The mix of large general-support grants and program-specific awards suggests a funder that uses flexible capital for both institutions and initiatives. With annual grants of more than $204 million and total assets above $1.1 billion, Arizona Community Foundation operates at a scale that allows it to fund across sectors while still maintaining a strong Arizona presence.
In education and scholarship-related work, Arizona Community Foundation gave $3,638,126 to Arizona State University Foundation for general support and $1,491,543 to the same organization for program support. In health, it awarded $1,452,381 to Honorhealth Foundation for general support and $1,054,343 to Phoenix Children’s Hospital Foundation for general support. Community development and human services also appear repeatedly. The foundation gave $2,000,000 to Arizona Golf Community Foundation for general support, $1,080,000 to Human Services Campus Inc for program support, and $1,411,370 to Valley of the Sun United Way for program support. Capacity-building style support shows up in the use of general support for organizations such as Rodel Institute and The Heard Museum. The portfolio also includes emergency and relief-oriented giving through International Medical Corps.
Arizona Community Foundation’s typical grant size is relatively mid-sized for a community foundation: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $18,933, and the 75th percentile is $41,000. The recent grants list also shows that it makes a smaller number of very large awards, including several at or above $1 million. This is a recurring grantmaker rather than a one-off funder. Arizona State University Foundation, Barrow Neurological Foundation, Honorhealth Foundation, and Pen America each appear more than once in the recent grants list, sometimes across multiple years and with both program support and general support. The organization is classified as a mixed community foundation, and it also makes program-related investments. The data provided does not identify an open application process.
