that provides Arizona schools and community organizations with an opportunity
to work collaboratively to improve arts education programs in schools
with the overarching goals of increasing student achievement through
Grants for Small Business. The foundation supports early education, out-of-school time, family
economic support, child care, youth development and community building.
The variety of programs improves opportunities and conditions for children,
youth, and families throughout Arizona, especially low-income families. This focus area is key to building healthier communities, helping Arizona
become a place where all generations can thrive and prosper. At the

that lead to home ownership, higher education, workplace training and
small business creation. This refers to activities that improve an organization's ability to achieve its mission. For organizations, this may relate to almost any aspect of its work: improved governance, leadership, program development, marketing, fundraising, collaboration and many others.
