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

  • Donor-designated gifts to Arizona arts, museums and cultural institutions
  • K-12 and higher education: scholarships, capital projects, student success
  • Human services in Maricopa County: food, housing, homelessness, family crisis
  • Health and medical research, including Barrow, TGen, hospital foundations
  • Faith-based organizations, parishes and religious schools
  • Animal welfare, land conservation and environmental projects

Typical grant

Median grant is $18,500, with the middle half between $10,000 and $42,000. The seven- and eight-figure checks are almost all donor-designated pass-throughs for named funds, artwork transfers, endowments or building campaigns, not competitive awards. Many Arizona nonprofits appear repeatedly across years for 'annual program support,' so recurring giving is common at modest levels.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

  • THIS AWARD IS DESIGNATED SUPPORT FOR
  • THIS AWARD IS FOR GENERAL SUPPORT
  • ANNUAL PROGRAM SUPPORT
  • THIS IS A REQUESTED DISTRIBUTION
  • RECOMMENDED BY AN ANONYMOUS DONOR

Positioning adjacent work

  • Anchor to Arizona: 3,270 of 4,506 grants stayed in state, most in Maricopa County.
  • Ask in the $10,000 to $50,000 band unless a specific donor advisor is backing a capital project.
  • Connect research to funded themes: neurodegeneration at Barrow, TGen genomics, NAU community health workers.
  • Cultivate the donor behind the fund, not the foundation staff; most awards are donor-designated.

Worth knowing: This is a community foundation whose 990-PF reflects donor-advised and designated funds, so the largest awards follow individual donors' relationships rather than staff review. Out-of-state grants exist but usually trace back to an Arizona donor's alma mater, church or personal cause.
