Summary: Supports end-of-life care and planning and diverse projects exploring death, dying, and grieving.
The Community Foundation for Southern Arizona administers these grants through the Shaaron Kent Endowment Fund. The program supports end-of-life care services and diverse projects and perspectives that explore the universal experiences of death, dying, and grieving.
Established in 2012, the endowment honors Kent’s wishes following her sudden death. A portion of her estate came to the foundation to support three areas she cared deeply about, including end-of-life care services. The fund reflects her generosity toward people with fewer means and her embrace of the cultural expressions of her adopted home in Mexico.
