Resources for Nonprofits

Southern Arizona is calling the Community Foundation to be a convener, collaborator, and connector- an organization that supports our community's nonprofits in a multitide of ways. In addition to grants made through us, we  support a number of community-focused initiatives and offer services to nonprofits that include:

Professional Education and Networking
Association of Fundraising Professionals Audio-Conferences: Co-sponsored by and held once a month at the Foundation, the AFP conferences provide education to fundraising professionals and nonprofit staff. More information is available by contacting Tomás León at 770.0800 ext. 104 or tleon@cfsoaz.org.

Technical Assistance
Center for Planned Giving: The Center, established in 2002, is an impartial philanthropic resource for nonprofits that can help nonprofits build endowments, set up gift annuities for donors, or established planned giving programs.

Meeting Space
We have a multi-purpose conference room and patio available for the nonprofit community. More information is available by contacting Doreen Hunnicutt at 770.0800 or dhunnicutt@cfsoaz.org.

Designed especially for nonprofits, the section below contains a wealth of continuously-updated information:
