Public Charities and Foundations Benefit Arizona Communities
Deliver vital community services
- Valley of the Sun United Way supports quality learning activities and experiences for every child. In 2019, Valley of the Sun United Way partnered with more than 90,000 donors, 400 companies, 5,000 volunteers and hundreds of non-profits and schools to break the cycle of poverty for families and individuals in Maricopa County, serving more than 4.3 million people.
Building a community
- The Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona serve more than 6,000 local girls. Unique to Girl Scouts, they also reach more girls through a Social Justice Program. Using staff, they reach thousands of girls in detention, pregnant and parenting teen moms, girls with incarcerated mothers, and girls in foster care each year.
Contribute to vibrant communities
- Wildfire promotes access to a foundation of financial security for all Arizonans. Wildfire is working to create a state where instead of just getting by, everyone is able to thrive. Wildfire helps low-income persons file their taxes for free through its partnership with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs.
Advance research and patient care
- The Asthma & Airway Disease Research Center is an interdisciplinary Center of Excellence at the University of Arizona College of Medicine dedicated to research, clinical care, medical education, and community service. The results of their research have been cited by NIH as a national resource on chronic pulmonary disease and also led to state-of-the-art medical care for residents of southern Arizona.
