AFP's Youth in Philanthropy Program on display at the Tucson International Airport!

Framed photo-journals written by Sierra Middle School students are now on display at the Southwest Airlines Ticket Counter. In partnership with AFP's (Southern Arizona Chapter) Youth in Philanthropy program, a matching grant from VisionMARK, and a grant from NIKE to purchase cameras, students chronicled the process of 1) determining a community need, 2) selecting an agency or program to provide for that need, and 3) raising money to support the program selected. Students chose a walk-a-thon to raise almost $2,500 for Easter Seals Arizona's Adaptive Respite & Recreation Camp program for children with disabilities.

Community Foundation for Southern Arizona Announces Grant Recipients

The Community Foundation for Southern Arizona (CFSA) has awarded more than $145,000 to 31 nonprofit agencies during its annual Spring Grant Round. The grants fund a broad spectrum of programs and services in four categories-Culture and Recreation, Health and Human Services, Education and Personal Development and Community Enhancement and Environment. While the Foundation granted more than $5 million in 2003-2004, the Spring Grant Round represents revenue generated for unrestricted and discretionary grant making. "This funding is a vital source of income for our local nonprofits," says Steve Alley, President and CEO of the Foundation. "Nationwide, support from individuals makes up nearly 75% of contributions to nonprofits, but many local organizations, especially those of smaller size, rely heavily on grants to carry out their missions", Alley reports.

Founded in 1980, the mission of the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona is to work with charitably minded individuals and organizations to strengthen Southern Arizona communities, now and for generations to come. For a complete list of grant recipients or to provide additional support, please call (520) 770-0800 or visit CFSA's website at www.cfsoaz.org
