Funding opportunities at a glance
The AZ Blue Foundation is adapting to meet Arizona’s most urgent needs.
Due to ongoing uncertainty around federal funding, grant availability, and essential services, the Foundation is taking a more targeted approach to how we distribute support.
Guided by conversations with fellow funders, community partners, and academic institutions, we have moved to an invitation-only grant process to focus on the most critical needs facing our communities right now.
We will continue to work with the Arizona Community Foundation (ACF) to manage grant applications and administration. All Arizona-serving nonprofits, academic institutions, and recognized government entities applying for AZ Blue Foundation funding must have an active account with ACF.
