GRANTMAKING

Arizona Foundation for Women believes that if women are afforded ample and equal resources, the entire state benefits. The foundation invests in innovative and change-making programs that address the unmet needs of Arizona’s women and children.

By providing financial resources to statewide nonprofits whose mission and goals focus on the safety, health and economic empowerment of women, we accomplish incredible, powerful outcomes together. Through rigorous granting and evaluation process, we have awarded millions of dollars to the Arizona community since our inception in 1995.

Each year grants are awarded based on the data published in the foundation’s most recent Status of Women Report in Arizona or based on current critical concerns affecting Arizona women.

When you give to Arizona Foundation for Women, you are investing in long-term solutions that focus on Safety, Health and Economic Empowerment. We believe SHE Counts!®
