Funding pattern
What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.
Where the money goes
- Arizona higher education and college scholarship pipelines
- Community health centers and hospital foundations serving low-income Arizonans
- Housing, homelessness and family crisis services in Maricopa and Pima counties
- Catholic institutions: Diocese of Phoenix, Creighton, St. Vincent de Paul
- Career and technical education for high school students (West-MEC, Pima JTED)
- Phoenix performing arts anchors: Ballet Arizona, Phoenix Symphony
Typical grant
Median grant is $100,000, with the middle half between $65,000 and $300,000. The seven-figure checks go to a small set of large Arizona institutions: universities, the Diocese of Phoenix, Valleywise and Banner health foundations, El Rio, Habitat affiliates, UMOM. Most of these appear at identical amounts across filing years, so this is renewed, multi-year support rather than one-time project funding.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “Health & Medical”
- “Human Services”
- “Education”
- “Spirituality”
- “Arts & Culture”
Positioning adjacent work
- Tie your work to workforce pipelines: West-MEC, Pima JTED and Earn to Learn model what they buy in education.
- Ask $100,000 to $300,000 on a first approach; seven-figure gifts go to long-standing Arizona anchors.
- Frame health work as direct care for uninsured or underserved Arizonans, not research infrastructure.
- Locate the work in Maricopa or Pima County explicitly, with named partner organizations they already fund.
Worth knowing: This is an Arizona funder almost exclusively: 393 of 487 grants stayed in state, and out-of-state gifts (Eastern Michigan University, Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation) read as personal ties rather than open interests. Catholic-affiliated recipients take a large share of the biggest checks, and the same three dozen or so organizations recur at steady amounts, so new entrants are competing for the $65,000 to $300,000 tier.
