How to recognize us Congratulations on receiving a competitive grant from the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona! We hope you'll help us spread the word. You can assist us by listing the award in your annual report, newsletters, and other correspondence with your donors and clients. We ask that you use our full legal name: Community Foundation for Southern Arizona when referring to your grant. We are working to raise the public's awareness of your work, too. We send out press releases on our competitive grants  and list grant recipients on our website. Often we send letters to donors sharing the results of our grant rounds  and encouraging them to make additional gifts as well.   Spreading the word together can help everyone. As our competitive grants gain even more visibility, the more donors want to contribute to our unrestricted funds, and the more funding we can make available to you. Again, congratulations!
