Description
Corazón Grants are the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona’s (CFSA) competitive funding opportunity for larger nonprofit organizations with a significant, sustained role in Southern Arizona. The program fills a gap for organizations above CORE’s eligibility ceiling and responds to uncertainty in nonprofit funding. Rooted in mutual trust, Corazón gives organizations flexibility to direct resources where they are needed most.
Funding can support emerging needs, salaries and benefits, technology and infrastructure, communications, and fundraising capacity. The program values trusted community relationships, belonging, well-being, and access to opportunity. It also recognizes organizations that contribute beyond their own services through partnerships, collaboration, expertise, and community leadership, while demonstrating sound governance, financial stewardship, adaptability, and learning.
