The Foundation accepts funding requests during specific grant cycles from non-profit organizations and academic institutions.
We work with the Arizona Community Foundation (ACF) to manage grant interest, applications, and proposals. All organizations seeking Foundation funding must have an active grantee account with ACF. The application process varies by funding type as detailed here.
