Founded in 2001, the Santa Cruz Community Foundation was created by area residents as a permanent charitable resource. Our Mission is to empower our community to invest in itself.

 

We serve Santa Cruz County, Arizona and Nogales Sonora by making transformational grants to area nonprofits; providing training and technical assistance to strengthen local nonprofits; investing in our future through scholarships for youth; building a strong, permanent philanthropic base; and providing leadership and advocacy on community issues.

In addition to the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona, we are affiliated with the
Border Philanthropy Partnership, and La Fundación del Empresariado Sonorense AC (FESAC).
