Funding priority is given to projects that expand publicly-available resources, are scalable (or have the potential to increase systems-level capacity), and have a measurable impact.
The Foundation is adapting to meet Arizona’s most urgent needs.
In light of ongoing uncertainty around federal funding, grant availability, and essential services, we’re taking a more targeted approach to how we distribute support in 2025.
Guided by conversations with fellow funders, nonprofit partners, and educational institutions, we are shifting to an invitation-only grant process to focus on the most critical needs facing our communities right now.
As a result, we are adjusting the timing of our second grant cycle to later this year.
We will continue to work with the Arizona Community Foundation (ACF) to manage grant applications and administration. All Arizona-based nonprofits, academic institutions, and recognized government entities applying for AZ Blue Foundation funding must have an active account with ACF.
