Description
The Arizona Community Foundation (ACF) supports community needs through statewide and regional grantmaking. Its priorities encompass arts and culture, affordable housing and essential needs, environmental protection, community health, research, human services, and education from Pre-K through graduate school. Competitive opportunities operate statewide and across six regions, with workshops offered to help applicants prepare proposals.
ACF of Cochise connects donors with local needs to improve quality of life in Cochise County. Its competitive cycle supports capacity building, direct services, capital expenditures, and general operations through local Field of Interest funds. A separate Patagonia Regional Community Fund cycle serves eastern Santa Cruz County. ACF also awards discretionary grants aligned with community needs and distributes donor-advised grants, which cannot be applied for.
